I got back from a hellish two weeks in Ok to find that my beloved draft cross gelding had died of an aneurysm while I was gone. They didn't want to tell me over the phone. I bred and raised him from a foal. He was 10 years old.

I am so sorry for you loss Sharon. When we lost a companion/friend like that it leaves a hole in our hearts for a long, long time.

I will keep you in my thoughts.
 
I'm sorry you have lost a family member. The last few years I've been working with Tennesse Walkers and Missouri Foxtrotters.
 
I am sorry for you loss. I can only imagine that bonds between humans and horses is very strong. We lost a Great Pyrenees last October. She was almost 13, and I still feel grief now and then. We get over our pets, maybe never completely, it just takes time. I'm not sure I'd want it any other way.
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. I know all to well that feeling of missing a piece of your heart. One day the two of you shall meet and ride across the Rainbow Bridge together again. May your heart be warmed by the memories of the time you had with your friend.

Thank you all so much. Yes he WAS a big guy. He was 17.3hh at the shoulder-- taller than I am. His daddy was my wonderful Belgian stallion and his mama was a Native Dancer line TB. He was gentle and kind and a wonderful jumper. He was also the family pet, just like his daddy was.

This was his sire, Queen's Farceur Sam.

Sharon, when I lost my dog someone said "Good friends leave footprints in your heart"....In your case it is hoofprints. My deepest sympathy.
 
I would have loved to see this big guy jump, wow. Like I said, he is a big boy, I have a hard time getting up on a 16 hand. I would have needed a step ladder for him. Great looking horse, you did well rasing him.
