The weekend before last was a hard one. We had to say goodbye to the 'horsey one's' first pony. We were lucky enough that when we arrived here in town and started at a school offering horsemanship to meet an amazing family who have not only passed on their amazing equine knowledge but have become real friends. The 'horsey' one rode their pony 'Show Off' for her first few years of riding and they were a true partnership. They both loved speed and jumping!!! As it happens the 'horsey one' grew and moved onto her next pony but Show Off was retired with her friend Moose. Henry is agisted at the same property so we still saw her daily. She had aged and it was her time. The 'horsey one' and I went to say goodbye the night before and spent some time with her , grooming her and cuddling her. We took so many photos and shed some tears as well. We will never forget her and she will always hold a special place in our hearts.....
Today my dear friend Lorraine is burying her brother Keith , he died on the same weekend in a car accident in WA leaving behind a wife and 3 small children, the youngest only a few months old. I will be thinking of her today and wishing I was close enough to be there to support her.

You are both in my thoughts. It is always hard to lose an animal we love, but to lose a friend at the same time makes it really hard to deal with. At least you have your memories and pictures of the good times.
