They say not every living creature
exhibits both grace and style,
under pressure.

You were a class act, Tiny Town,
as you moved with such grace and style
over jumps higher than my head.

Now, just moments ago,
I find you are dead of colic,
a very painful end to such
a wonderful gift from God.

I bid you farewell, sweet Tiny Town,
and hope that in those last moments
you found some merciful grace
from the horse master in the sky.

I bow my head and say goodbye
to you, a magnificent horse
who always showed grace and style
under pressure.

Goodbye, Tiny Town.
RIP.

Tiny was such a beauty, Dutch Warmblood and Thoroughbred mix.

Oh My Kacy . . .
I am so so sorry . . .
My prayers to you
"May the greatest golden sight
wrap him sweetly in its wings."
Much Love to You

If horses don't go to heaven, then I dont' want to go either.

*hugs* from a fellow horse-lover (or obsessor in my case?)

Thank you so much, Sue, for that reply.

And Skyfire, I knew you would understand this one, being a horse-lady.
