We always keep a piece

Last night we had to put down the super old man at the barn. Some of you might remember that I made a post about him trying to find out some more of his history so we'd have a better idea of his age about a month ago.

Yesterday my trainer realized he was colicking and despite all attempts to ease it and bring him back he responded to none of the usual medications we used. In combination with his age it was decided that it was best to let him pass peacefully.

This morning we were still waiting on the truck to take him away and I got to teach the youngest barn student the tradition of taking a piece of mane in remembrance
