Re: [RC] A Great Mare Has Passed.... - Carolyn Loedeman

Susan,
I am sorry to hear of Fleetara's passing, I remember a super run off between my mare In His Image(29 years old) and your mare at the Spots and Dishes ride in 84 I believe, what a mare she was.  Rainbow bridge will be crowded for us both when our time comes.  Love and hugs and much sympathy, Carolyn Loedeman

Subject: [RC] A Great Mare Has Passed....

This morning at 11:30, I sent HCC Fleetara to the Rainbow Bridge.  She was almost 31 years young and had been getting progressively worse with Cushings for 5 years. 
 
She spent the last part of her life on a 43 acre farm with her best friend, Elite, and 6 goats -- a very happy, contented mare.  When she went down this morning and was unable to rise, Elite and the goats made a circle around her until the vet arrived with the injection.   
 
She carried me more than 5,000 AERC miles and countless Competitive miles -- and gave me three beautiful foals.  I miss her terribly and can't wait to see her again...
 
Susan (in Louisville)
