We had to put down our daughter's favorite mare last night, Nestle.
She was the first horse we bought after we escaped from the big city (Austin) to live the rural life here in Southern Illinois 3+ years ago. We bought her even before we had a house built. She lived through all of the changes for the last 3 years and had just had a new colt foal (our first from her, 4th for her overall). She died one month to the day from the birth due to colic. We even had emergency surgery done but it was in vain.
As I sit here typing this through the tears, I wonder how these animals grow to touch our hearts so well.
She is so missed...
