I had to put my horse down today. Sunny was with me for 12 years, and he was a living peice of art. 2 crystal clear blue eyes and the proudest expression. We did everything together--have seen 100s of trails, went to the mountains in GA together, drove my buggy and helped teach my young horse the ropes. He taught my son how to ride, and was always happy to go somewhere. Loaded like a dream.
He was so, so smart. I have had probably a half dozen horses over the years, and this was, bar none, the smartest one I've ever known.
I was with him until the very end, telling him how much I loved him. He left this world with a mouthful of sugar (after finishing nearly the entire box)lol. He was never afraid, which was the last gift I could give him.
He lived in a beautiful pasture, with my other young horse to boss around, and he waa given more cookies, muffins, apples, carrots, bananas and anything else I had around here....he was my chubby ole monkey.lol.
Sunny, you cannot imagine how much I will miss you. I can't believe you are gone. It feels like a dream. I remember the day I bought you--I wasn't sure if you had any personality (he was at a horse trader's place) and about a week after you got here, you let your "sunny" personality OUT!! You have made me laugh 100s of times. You have made me smile 1000s. I prayed to God for a horse like you, and because of you, I know there is a God in heaven that loves me SO much. He couldn't have made you any more perfect for me.
Rest in Peace, my beautiful boy.
