Interrupts my spring elation

We've just heard some very bad news about a friend's horse. I'm kind of hoping that the report was a mistake or something, but I'm afraid that it may not be.

ETA: Looks like we heard right. I still can't believe it, I think today might be tough.

What happened?

Sounds like our friend's mare was put down this morning. No idea why or what happened- she seemed fine yesterday evening when i was giving her scratchies and she was trying to groom my head using her teeth.

I don't feel too bad right now because I don't think my brain can accept it. She was too big and too crazy and too alive.

Doubtless I'll have more to say about it later.

Crap. Makes me wish I could remember the link for the Navajo war god's horse song.

here you go:



" . . . My horse has a hoof like striped agate.
His fetlock is like fine eagle plume.
His legs are like quick lightening.
My horse's body is like an eagle-feathered arrow.
My horse has a tail like a trailing black cloud.

His mane is made of rainbows.
My horse's ears are made of round corn.
My horse's eyes are made of stars.
My horse's head is made of mixed waters.

My horse's teeth are made of white shell.
The long rainbow is in his mouth for a bridle.
With it I guide him.

I am wealthy from my horse.
Before me peaceful
Behind me peaceful
Under me peaceful
Around me peaceful
Peaceful voice when he neighs
I am everlasting and peaceful.
I stand for my horse.



RIP horse. :(
