I had to take a break from all this with the rough time that we had during December. We lost our 2 year old Mac to colic suddenly and Katie had to be put down due to cancer. We noticed that her cut was not getting any better and she was suffering from colic off and on and was just loosing all the weight that she had put back on. So the vet ran some tests and found that yes Katie was very sick and we needed to look at putting her suffering to an end. She made it thru Christmas with us and we made it a very special holiday for her with lots of treats. And she is laid to rest under the biggest tree on the property and it was very peaceful.
While she is greatly missed she has shown my kids the need that there is for homes for the poor horses that are no longer wanted and loved and just left to die. So we have taken in another poor old castoff that no one wanted anymore. He is called Elmo (or Fuzzy depending on who you are talking to) and he is the sweetest boy.
I will be posting some pics of him tomorrow... looks like we are turning into a regular horse rescue.
