The early hours of this day 4yrs ago in 2020 marked the day my whole world was flipped upside down and changed. This moment snapped something inside that I never fully got back and that was my drive to compete or ride.
When you are so lucky to have met a kindred soul so entangled in your own from the moment you met and only to lose them in the most horrific way due to negligence, ignorance complete arrogance and lack of empathy for the damage dealt so such a sweet soul. It shatters you and it honestly never gets easier.
This is the day I lost my part of my soul Oats. This horse chose me from the very first second we met in a 50+ acre field... he chose to come up to me and shove his head into my chest imprinting on my soul. This was a horse that given the right opportunity would have exceeded anyone's expectations with his looks, movement and honest want to please the one he loved. His future was exceedingly bright.... . Those that had the chance to meet him would agree this boy was just something so special.
Oats you are extremely missed each and every day and even more so lately with all that has changed.
Vale my precious boy. Forever only 5 years old. May you watch over your 2 little brothers Titan and Hades on their adventures in this life guiding them.
Greenbrook Wild Oats affectionately known as Oats ❤️
Forever this song will remind me of you.
