For such big animals, horses are incredibly fragile. This evening we had to say goodbye to our little man, Rumba, at only 23 months old. I had a lot of dreams for him but now I will never get to hear his name announced over the loudspeaker at a show, or teach him to drive, or train him to ride. I'll never know if he was going to be flea-bitten or dappled grey. I won't know how tall he would've gotten, or what discipline he would've been best at, or who would've ultimately been his forever human.
Breeding horses is full of joy most days, but days like today are devastating.
Run free, Rumba. I'm sorry we couldn't save you.
