In Memorium

I am sad to report that the old mare Lady died last March.  She was over 30 and some people think she may have been over 40 years old! She spent her whole life here on the coast and died on the land she lived her whole life on.  She had been slowing down the last year and the last few months before she died she wasn't interested in carrots anymore but did enjoy the feed we give the herd.
On the whole she was a very sweet natured horse and you can see she had a sweet face. She was the only horse in the present herd that had ever been ridden.
We had a very rainy winter, especially in March and the herd was staying over next door where they have more trees to protect them from the rain. I saw Sweetie, Lady's son on the hill by himself for several days which was very unusual so I suspected that Lady was gone.  Due to many very rainy days it took awhile before anyone could go over and find her. She is sorely missed.
