This one hurts, I am afraid:(

Please send your prayers for a big beautiful black quarterhorse mare,(still with her summer foal), who is in distress.

Her name is 'Sis' and she has almost no bowel sounds now...perhaps a reaction to a worm treatment, some blockage,...not sure yet. But she is in distress.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers; plainly this one is close to my heart.

An update on Sis; so grateful for everyone's good wishes and her strength:)

She passed a little bit of what we needed to see, this morning...needs to get rid of much, much more, but, we will take this as a start and keep pulling for her.

(Don't know if this site would allow the proper wording. Have to snicker as we were shown a picture of the 'proof' in a bucket).

Those who know horses will recall the damage that is done at the cellular level in the intestine when things like this happen. All that still is undetermined.

Please keep Sis in your prayers and thoughts.

This is the same owner who nearly died in Sept when a blood clot reached her lung following knee surgery. It has been a struggle for them, to say the least. Feisty as she is, this is one of her babies and even she has her limits. She very much appreciates support for her Sis:)

Here's one more of Daisy and Shadow. Shadow hates having his picture taken so don't expect to ever really get a good view of the little guy. LOL Daisy was pregnant, which is why she's so wide and uneven. She lost the baby though earlier this year :(

I just scanned a few more...

This is Flicka- my aunt has her now. Very sweet horse- she's the one kids and people who aren't very comfortable on horses usually ride.

Horses in the yard- LOL. This is Flicka and Carmella. Carmella is the taller one. You also get to see Ole when he was a really cute puppy :)

This is my aunt's horse, Ivory (she's an Arabian) and Golden Boy. The picture above is a little bit to the right of where these two are.

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts.

The thing is that Sis was not even mine. She was a mare whom I grew to love through internet foal cams.

It is the darndest thing ...to get so attached to a horse and its people, without even have patted her.

But then, I tear up just watching horses at jump competitions. Go figure.

Sis had an awful few days trying to work the impaction down the intestine. She had a moment of hope and then, she reached her limit. All through it, she kept tending to her colt. Such a good mom. The colt will find his way, but, the timing was forced.

The owner is very special:) These horse owners live with and know the reality of life with horses.

I am old enough to have shoved the pain away when things go off the rails like that. Not that I wish I had not found it again...we get so connected; that is all.

No answers; no questions...only real sadness. I know it will lighten and brighten, but for now, I will be looking through every word with tears. But, thanks for understanding and loving horses, too.
