Holly, Fling is adorable. During these painful times it seems to me all we can do is keep the good memories close to our heart and try to only dwell on that. Fling has no idea what he missed so he's not sad. Let the joy stay with you that you and he brought joy to each other. What is on your path in the future? Feeling the sadness and pain in your heart is part of the mourning and healing process. Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were no 'sadness, tears, pain or death"? Unfortunately we have to deal with how nature is which is not always easy. The hard times do seem to help us appreciate even more the good things in our lifes.
Would it help you to go hug a horse that needs or groom a horse that lacks attention?

Although I only had Fling for about a month, I got him mid August 2009 and he was put down on September 17, 2009 I would have to say everyday was great with him. He was amazing. His first show was great though. He was so well behaved and we took 2nd in our class. Then his second show we took 2nd again and his third show we took 1st out of 9, that was amazing, and his previous owner was there to see it.
Two weeks later he was put down though:(
Loosing a foal is soo difficult. The first time it snowed it I was so upset thinking that he'd never got to see snow before. The things he never got to experience. It sucks, it's so hard.
I was really attached to Fling, and he was soo attached to me, replaced me as his mother. He would always be so good.

Yes I have 9 horses.

Picture is of Fling at his first show.

Sorry for your loss Holly. What was some of your special memories with Fling? Do you have other horses?

Fling, my little foal I lost from tetanus would have been 1 years old today.

One year ago today, I lost my best friend. He was the best horse I ever knew, and I miss his beautiful buckskin face. Together, we learned to ride, we learned to jump, we learned to show. He taught me so much, even as I taught him. We spent many many hours in each other's company, and none of that time could ever be called wasted. He was my confidante, my partner, my brother, my son. I loved him like I have loved no other.
I am thinking of you today, sweet Dexter, and missing you so much.

hey all
althought the horse i lost didint die [well thats what i was told] im always thinking of holly and love her with all my heart!

i first ment holly last year when i was working at a riding school. she was a cute grey shetland pony that noboby hardly rode coz she was soo naughty. i cant rember why or how but i started riding this cute little pony. but i always rode her on trail rides bareback, she was always so happy to see me and enjoyed the trails we whent on. we only whent on trails when we had coustermoors who wanted to go for a ride. so me and my trusty pony used to go on trails awnsering coustermers querries and stuff. must of the time we rode on point whitch means you ride around the group of people making sure every one was happy and okay.

we used to go swiming together and heaps of over stuff to she was my dream horse even though i was geting to big for her.
i always said i would buy her some day............
saddly i had to move outer state and back to my other farm i was so upset to leave holly behind but i knew she would be happy,
then this year in july my friend who also worked there told me the riding scholl was closing down, i was frantic and tried so hard to get holly
when i had phonded the owner [ who is a really mean person.]
she was all nice to me untill she found out i lived in another state
she hung up me, i called back again and she told me all the horses were sold.
i was told later that half of the horses went to dogmeant factorry i was soo upset, but i can only hope holly is happy and safe.
and the saddest thing is i dont even have a photo of her.
