'Tis a Sad Day, Indeed...

Hi, all. My friend, Kate, lost one of her most trusted horses in her horse program I have been helping with. Ellie was injured mysteriously about 1 1/2 months ago. Her injuries were healing well, but then she began having neurological issues. Yesterday, Ellie was unable to stand, so Kate, her vet, Susan, and I were with her while the vet helped her on her last journey.

Kate is devastated. This is the horse that all the beginners worked with. The horse that introduced people to the horse partners program I have been working with all summer. Her granddaughter, Paige, is especially close to Ellie and wanted to be with her in the end, but time wise it was not going to happen.

Please send well wishes and prayers or warm, comforting thoughts Kate and Paige's way. While the shock and loss are so fresh, the caring will certaily help them.

Dear Ellie - rest in peace and enjoy your freedom from the complications that affected you. You will be missed and we will never be able to replace you.
