Goodbye Lee. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I thought I was being thoughtful by planning for his departure months in advance -- I stopped riding him months ago, I stopped grooming him weeks ago (don't worry others did it for me) but the one thing I have not done is stopped loving the big lug. So much for planning. Watching his new mother drive away with him was way too much. My comfort comes from knowing he is off to horse paradise and I am left with some great memories. I also have the love and support of my many friends and the magnificent Blu.
So after drying my eyes and getting my wits about me, I saddled up Blu and had a nice ride in the freezing cold. Horses are truly good for the soul. A couple of little spooks to get my attention and Blu and I decided it was a day to go easy... a little canter, a little trot, some transitions and we called it a day.
Good bye Lee. I will miss you.
