Goodbye my friend, my heart, my horse. May we meet again someday 💔 🪽

I made the Devestating decision to lay this beautiful soul to rest today. I sit here, tears pouring, as I say goodbye to my forever heart horse. I promised her I would always take care of her, no matter how excruciatingly painful it would be for me.

The end result is the same. Lay her to rest while she was still able to move around and breathe, instead of gambling time and efficacy of medication to keep her comfortable. With multiple IM injections and oral medication, daily, it didn’t seem fair or dignified.

I am absolutely shattered. I will miss her bear like whinnies when she saw me every single morning. Her grumpy faces, how she lowered her head for my girls to pat her. The joy she gave me. The stillness she taught me. This horse owes me nothing, and I owe her everything.

So thankful for support and help today, which made this transition as easy as it could be. Thank you to Sugar Run Equine for your continued care and expertise. My heart will have a hole for a very long time. 💔

May you rest in peace my sweet sweet girl 🪽

There are so many things that horses teach us, if we take the time to listen. Listen to them when something just isn’t quite right, or when they “never used to do that” or even if they’ve always done that and you don’t know why. Listen to their subtle cues, behaviors, movements, because if we listen, they will tell us.

I knew this day was inevitable, I thought I had prepared myself after our first diagnosis of heart disease. None of that makes it any easier. The past 48 hours have been not quite right for Opal. I have grown to know every behavior in her daily routines, and some may have easily missed her subtle, stoic, hints. Enough for me to really feel in my gut that something had changed.

Yesterday I was given the devastating blow I knew would come: Opal’s heart is failing. We confirmed she is now in congestive heart failure with fluid in her lungs, and edema on her sternum. We have moved into our last stages of keeping her comfortable, until we can lay her to rest peacefully when spring arrives.

I know many of you have followed our journey and the many health hurdles we have dealt with, and so may this be our last, and allow the next few months be filled with lots of spoiling, quality time, and grace to allow this amazing soul the time to truly rest.

To say I am shattered is an understatement, but I am moving forward to making the next few months full of quality time and comfort for the mare that has truly taught me more than any other horse I’ve ever met before. 🌺

A beautiful morning for our homeschoolers today!!!

It was a perfect morning for some trail rides!! Clara and Bowen took advantage!!! 🍂 @anipetrolito #getoutside #vermontkids #cadencedressagevt #ilovermont #lessonhorses #foliage #fallishere

Played around with a “not so scary” tarp with Ande today after our ground work session. From not knowing what a tarp was to letting me put it on his back was about 10 minutes. This boy has the best brain ♥️ #lusitano #cadencedressagevt #babyhorse #yearling #desentisization #babysteps #groundwork

Last day of camp for the summer was celebrated with a trail ride! Lots of action pics!!! We spent the afternoon with our guest Artist, who taught the kiddos how to draw horses! #getoutside #vermontkids #vermont #cadencedressagevt #ilovermont #lessonhorses #summercamp #lessonhorses #

Day 4: the farrier came, we hiked for nature items in every color of the rainbow, played some mounted games, and made some art! #getoutside #vermontkids #cadencedressagevt #vermont #ilovermont #lessonhorses #horsemanship #summercamp

Day 3: it was a rainy day!!! The students learned how to clean stalls and basic horse care, painted the horses, and we had guest baby goats who came for some snuggles! #getoutside #vermontkids #cadencedressagevt #vermont #ilovermont #lessonhorses #summercamp #horsemanship #horsesofinstagram

Day 2! Lots of games today and despite the rain we got some riding in! We played Simon says on horseback, made dream catchers, and played an egg and spoon rally (but with an alfalfa cube 😉)! These kiddos will sleep good tonight! #getoutside #vermontkids #cadencedressagevt #ilovermont #lessonhorses #summercamp #horsemanship
