about Bart

[Guest guest]

Thank you everyone for the kind words about the loss of our horse. It

means alot to me. We have only had Bart for the Summer. He was 25

years old. We adopted him from the theriputic riding program where

rides. When I went out to feed him I found him on his side in

the pasture struggling to get up. His back legs where paralized. The

vet suggested it might be due to a stroke. 25 years is a long life

for a horse. He had a good life and spent the last Summer here in

green pastures being spoiled and loved. The best part is that I had

two of my troubled teen Sunday School girls out to ride him on

different occasions and they both had the time of their lives. That

in itself made the grief of losing him worth while. I know what a

horse can do for a girl's soul. Bart will be missed. Thankfully we

still have our beloved mule and mini-donkey and they are such a joy.
