Well, horses are wonderful animals. They can become like family. I’m closer to my horses than I am to either of my siblings. Horses can bring us beautifully memories and can lead us out of fear or worry and into happiness. Horses are very therapeutic animals and are good for the soul.
We purchased Purely Playgirl a couple of years ago. She was a beautiful own daughter of Freckles Pl***oy x an own daughter of Smart Little Lena. Two weeks ago, my wife found her choking in the corral. I immediately took her to the vet, where she spent the next 3 days. They got the 12 inch feed clog out of her throat. I brought her back home. Four days later, she wasn’t moving and was breathing very heavily. I took her back to the vet. Playgirl had gotten a severe case of pneumonia. The vet put a tube into her lungs and about 4 gallons of fluid came out immediately. Over the next couple of days, she began eating alfalfa and drinking water. Things were looking up. Then I got a call from the vet this morning. He said that she had taken a turn for the worse. A little bit later, he reached out again, and Playgirl had crashed and went down. He went ahead and put her down so that she didn’t suffer anymore. We fought hard and prayed for you hard, sweet girl. We love you and are so happy that we have an embryo between you and in one of our recip mares for a 2024 foal, and we will continue your legacy of being a wonderful horse! Rest in peace, Purely Playgirl! Christine Kifer Sherry Kifer
