A few years back I was visiting a horse breeder in my area and came across this most awesome big red three day old colt. He at a young age stirred something deep inside of me and I knew that he was meant to be mine. The owner at the time did not want to sell him. I revisited about 6 weeks later and she would sell but the price was too high. At three months I went back and she and I agreed on a price and I took him home. I raised him up, watched him develop into a lovely young strong gelding. When he was four I lost him in a divorce, but he was given back to me 4 years later. I was ecstatic. In the last 8 months we got to know each other all over again. We explored trails in Eastern WA. and started to take dressage lessons at the local boarding farm. I was in love all over, he was the same horse. Then this morning I got the call, "I'm so sorry, your horse died last night". I could not believe my ears, I kept saying, "well is he OK now? You must be kidding." Although I heard the words they did not register. My big red colt broke his neck in a safe, solid stall. Although his potential will never be realized, he will lives with me always.
