R.I.P. Friesian Mare Gerda (OT)
I got a call from Gloria very early this morning. Gerda
(http://friesianlover.com/gerda.html) died giving birth to her foal, which was breech and also did not survive. You don't wanna know the gory details. I could have waited another hour or so to hear them myself.... I am so immensely sad for all concerned, as well as extremely glad that I did not have to be there as it was happening. According to Gloria, the vet arrived too late to save her but in time to put her down before she suffered much. |

My boss' daughter shows horses at jumping competitions. They bought a horse several years ago that eventually turned into the family pet as well as her competition horse. Several weeks ago they had to put him down due to intestinal complications. The entire family was heartbroken. I shall light the candle I used to guide Newt over the Bridge for Gerda. Julie |

them to run around in. Will include them in our candle lighting this weekend.
