A Tragic Goodbye ...





Having to say good bye to animal who has been a part of your world for so long is one thing but tragically having them taken away, is definitely another.  My mare, known as 'Spritz' appears to have been mauled and killed by a cougar.  Not the way you want your beloved horses life to end.  I had raised 'Spritz' out of my Mom's mare, broke her, trained her and have had her in my world for almost 23 yrs.  She was a damn fine horse, who had character and quirks.  She had the kindest eyes and the most beautiful flaxen mane and tail I have ever seen.  I can't even begin to add up the hours we spent together through the years ... a girl loves her horse and she was definitely mine!  It was an honour to have had her in my world for as long as I did, yet definitely not ready to say 'good-bye.'  They say 'horses lend us the wings we lack.'  Spritz you gave me wings daily ... till we meet again my friend ... ❤

My Cowgirl!


You've met her before ... this is 'My Gal,' aka ... 'Spritz,' and she just celebrated her 22nd birthday not too long ago!  It's so hard to imagine that she is now that age ... I've raised her from day one!  I guess neither one of us is getting younger but we certainly have wisdom on our side ... right?  LOL!  Well, these days, Spritz and I are riding and checking not only the heifers but the fence ... since we apparently seem to have a resident moose with a specialty in 'fencing!'





Once school is out for the boys, I have a feeling my girl and I will be separated for a bit ... she's kinda become an 'old faithful' that the boys enjoy riding and with Buddy being gone, I will definitely be relegated to the young horses.  I won't complain ... it's good to know they are in good 'hooves!'
