Some sad news...

For those of you that read this on a regular basis... you may know about the horse I was helping to care for, Savannah. This morning I got a call to inform me that she was put down last night. When I talked to her owner yesterday, she told me that Savannah was showing signs of Colic, a common intestinal disorder that happens with horses and can cause death. We were hoping it was just a belly ache, but as it turns out... it wasn't. The poor thing was in a lot of pain and considering how old she is (over 20) there wasn't much they could do for her. She was a sweet horse and I wish I could have had more time to get to know her. I guess my horse care taking days are over for now. I am just glad it was nothing I had done that made her get sick. That would have been horrible!
