Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.
Stanley Harrison
A bright light went out of our lives Sunday night. Sam was a great horse, a stalwart trail partner, and one of my best friends. He will be missed.

Oh, Anne - I'm so sorry. Such a beautiful big lug of a guy he was.

My deepest condolences. I hope that you're comforted by knowing you gave him the best life possible while he was with you.

I saw the subject and immediately exclaimed, "Oh no! Not Sammy!" much to my music theory class' surprise. I can't imagine how much of a loss you're feeling right now, but know that you and Sammy are in my thoughts.

Oh no! I'm so sorry...

I am so sad to hear this. I know how devoted you are to your horse friends, and I know the loss of a friend like that is profoundly sad. Sending comforting thoughts to you and your family (including the other horses).

I am so sorry for your loss. In some ways, it's harder to lose an animal friend than a human one. With you, Sammy had the best life he could have: he was loved.

Sweet photos indeed. I love the ones you picked. He will be missed even by those of us who didn't get to know him in person.

So sad for you. Virtual hugs and deep sighs. It sucks right now and I wish it did not. Tears are good.

He looks so kind. I'm sorry for your loss.

Anne, I am so very sorry. I don't cry easily, but started when I saw the title of your post. My thoughts go with you.
