There were three or four people who had her before I got her back. They all must have loved her because her attitude is so good still. <br /><br />You never know what will happen. Growing up on a breeding farm, we lost horses of all ages to a lot of different things. Cherish every day. <br /><br />the fact that the horses make it to those ages is part of what makes them so special. <br /><br />Mr Moonlight sounds like quite the character!Ceffylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193229738702127022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866031668205120292.post-44958076985605291992013-07-27T07:07:09.538-07:002013-07-27T07:07:09.538-07:00You are most welcome.

I had wanted her to be with me forever, but it was a miracle she was with me as long as she was. <br /><br />I hope Fionnabhair is your company for many years. :)Ceffylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193229738702127022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866031668205120292.post-56866459050592776252013-07-27T07:04:22.358-07:002013-07-27T07:04:22.358-07:00I am happy to share Prize's story.

Prize's story is a rare one and I'm so thankful that she ended up back with me. <br /><br />Saoradh was a very special horse. I always loved your posts about him and all of his critters. We are lucky to have these grand old horses in our lives.

She must have been lucky in her owners all the way long. Yes I thought my old girl would be with me into her 30's but she passed away at 22. I had to send another beloved mare to the bridge at 13. Even when we do our best for them they don't all make it to such a grand old age. Right now I have a 24 year old pony on loan to keep my baby horse company. Mr Moonlight still thinks he is Bucephalus, or maybe Pegasus, since he is white. I hope he feels like that for a long time to come. He is a gem.

My old ...Thank you so much for sharing! I cried...<br /><br />My old horse, Federal Agent, I thought would live to be 30 and I looked forward to having him that long. Sadly he passed away at 20, I was quite shocked.<br /><br />There isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish he was standing in the stall. I had to move on. My new-ish horse Fionnabhair is a good horse, she inquisitive and smart (to damn smart!). I hope that we can have grand adventures until she is to old to ride...Skullarixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449084800116613541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866031668205120292.post-5646811743467096302013-07-26T11:14:52.769-07:002013-07-26T11:14:52.769-07:00Thank you for sharing Prize's and your story. ...Thank you for sharing Prize's and your story. I am so glad you found each other again, that the love you showed in that letter guided her back to you. I can't imagine how hard it was to give her up, I know many stories do not end this way. But it's also must be such a relief for this other young woman who had to let go, apparently for the same reason, to know she's back with someone who loves her. <br /><br />The oldsters are so special. I cherish forever the memory of those years with Saoradh, who I found abandoned and starving. I now have two elderly Minis and a mare who is getting on now. They have so much love and so much to teach, they deserve to be honored and cherished. Saighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330045789400336110noreply@blogger.com
