Skylar has told me in her own way that it is ok. i will be picking her up on August 1st. again. thank you to our entire Fjord family. i have known since early on that Fjords come with an extended family. i am proud to be a part of the celebration of this glorious breed. laurie with livingi...@q.com Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l

This message is from: sbiluk sbi...@comcast.net Dear Laurie, I am so sorry to hear of your sudden loss of Skylar. Although I do not know the details, I am dealing with the sudden loss of my Krista as well. She was only 14, in her prime and very healthy. After a wonderful ride, when I got home I opened the trailer door and she was gone. Although extremely painful, I am thankful that her passing was quick and painless and I didn't have to watch her suffer nor have to make that terrible call to the vet. That was seven weeks ago. I was fortunate to have my other Fjord Dylan to help me grieve. May God give you comfort and His Peace.

This message is from: Gail Russell g...@zeliga.com It is so hard losing an older, faithful buddy. Especially when Fjords tend to be so healthy and look so young. I have 19 and 26 year old Fjords, and they both look younger than all of their younger counterparts. I am so sorry Laurie. We hope another lovely Fjord finds you soon.

This message is from: laurie with livingi...@q.com i lost Skylar last night to a sudden and very painful bout with colic. it came on in the barn cross ties when i was brushing her, about 6:30 and by 8:30 at the vet knew we could do nothing to help her. she had a ton of pain meds, but nothing was relieving her. they think it was a twisted intestine, and surgery had no guarantees and a high price. i made the horrible decision to let her go, way too soon. she would have been 20 this saturday. she taught me a lot about mares, my riding, and life in general. i know i want another fjord in my life. the hole they leave is too great not to fill. but the grieving will come first. she and Oz are reunited with his old friend Bogie at the bridge. better hope they have an infinite green pasture up there, because i am sure these three will be cleaning it up……. laurie with livingi...@q.com Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l
