Never feed horses or other livestock without the owners permission it can be fatal.

-Today I died 🌈

Grazing on the grass as the same every day
I see some new people coming my way
I run over as I always do
I knew it wasn’t my owner but someone new.

They gave me something
What it was, I wasn’t to sure
I took it anyway as I trusted humans
I thought they were all kind and pure.

I took it off them
I tried to chew
it got stuck
I was in danger but who knew?

The human just walked away
Carried on with their day
My owner came later than to see me
She looked at me a different way.

She wasn’t smiling or happy
She didn’t welcome me with open arms
She looked scared
She looked alarmed.

I heard her crying on the phone
I heard her pray
She held on to me
She said ‘please make it.please don’t leave me today’.

The vet came quickly
He saw me on the ground
He looked at my owner
She fell to the ground.

I laid there in pain,
My stomach felt like a tight knot
I tried to get up
for the first time I could not.

The vet told me he was sorry
He said there is nothing he could do
He told me I wouldn’t be in pain anymore
What he meant?
I didn’t have a clue.

I felt something sharp
I started to fall to sleep
I felt my owner hold me
I let out one last weep.

I was healthy and happy
I had so much grass on the land
I trusted every single human
My fate ended up in their hands.

It was something that could of been avoided
a human thought they were doing good
they gave me something that they didn’t know if they should.

I left my owner
I left my friends
I had a long life ahead of me
It should of never came to a end.

I died that day.

Please think about us when you walk by
we don’t need extra food
we don’t need treats
that’s what our owners supply.

-I died that day.
