I had to euthanize my horse. I’m crushed.
Sadly yesterday, April 8th, I had to say goodbye to my dearly beloved horse Darcy. He tragically had an accident that nobody could have seen coming nor prevented. The initial understanding was a bruised hip, but the injury was later found to be a fractured spine. Ultimately I had to do what was best for him, and no matter how difficult the day was, I am glad to have been there every step of the way for him.
I have no words to describe how heartbroken I am to lose an animal that was so precious to me and others. He had a piece of my soul. He was so strong and fierce yet so gentle. He made me ten times the horse woman I was before him. He inspired me to work harder, face my fears, try new things, and more importantly, slow down and enjoy the ride. I planned for a whole lifetime with him, but not before he could teach me one final lesson: Not everything powerful in our lives is meant to be possessed. Some things are meant to be witnessed, loved, and eventually released. I will truly cherish every single memory for love was not proven in grand moments, but in steady presence.
I will search for you in the eyes of every horse I meet. I love you, and I will miss you dearly, Darcy❤️
