On February 28th, 2008, I fed horses hay at 6:30 am as usual. At 8:30 I went back out after breakfast for grain and more hay, and found Ana 3-legged. Her left front hoof was dangling. I called the vet, and while we waited, I held Ana's leg for her as the swelling began. We went into the stall to lie down. When the vet arrived, she wasn't hopeful. When the x-ray machine arrived, it confirmed our worst fears. Ana shattered her pastern.
Goodbye, sweet baby.

Oh my god, Michelle, I'm so shocked and sad to hear that! So very very sorry for your loss. I know that Ana had a beautiful short life with you. I'm not good with words for tragedies like this. I'll be thinking of you and the horses today.
