I just found out my heart horse died

I don’t even know what to think right now.

My neighbor has horses that I helped with for several years and on and off since 2018 when I moved to Florida.
I just came back to my hometown and eagerly wanted to go see Blondie


(Us in happier times)
She was a beautiful small palomino mare with one eye
For whatever reason she only fully trusted me and so the neighbor said that she was basically ‘my’ horse. It was the first time I ever felt so attached to a horse.
Found out today since I last saw her doing good in January, she got stuck in the creek and broke her leg and there was nothing he could do but let her go.

I had no idea that was goodbye. I feel like this isn’t real. I want to wake up. Goodbye girl :broken_heart:

Thank you everyone. This is the first time I feel like I need a short break from horses, but I’ll get back at it soon

I’m so sorry. At least she went peacefully, with an owner who was willing to do right by her at the end.
