Woody, the QH that was boarded with me had to be put down Friday. He was an old man, 31 yo, with a multitude of health problems. The last few years have been a wild ride coping with his health problems. It was obvious last week it was time to let him go.

I knew the little man his entire life. We had some ups and downs in our relationship. He was "energy efficient" (lazy) and hated that I made him work in his younger days. This last year he had a personality change. We ended up bonding. I miss the little turd.

I just have my horse left. He is well into his 20s so I don't know how much longer he'll be here.

In addition to the sadness over Woody I'm grieving the loss/passing of a huge part of my life. I've been involved with horses for over 60 years. Lots of memories are bubbling to the surface.

Aww that’s a long time to know a horse.

Sorry for your loss.

"Memories bubbling" made me think - i have at least one coffee mug from every place ive worked as a computer programmer, so a honking box full of memories.
