Mac
Today our family said goodbye to one super special horse.
Mac Maddie's 8 year old Gelding.
He was the kindest horse I think I have ever known. She started riding him when he was 3 and she was 8. What a team. Maddie showed him in 4-H English & Western then taught him to run barrels and poles...she even started teaching him to be a rope horse.
I will miss looking out my window each day and watching her put him through the paces.....watching her groom him for what seemed like hours before she saddled him. She would have me mix her up some magic main and tail softener for him then she would brush it over and over to make sure he looked spiffy.
We have a very sorrowful home today and I am sure the last tear has not fallen but we will all remember what an Awesome little guy he was.

He passed so quickly...Maddie had just given him his bath and dolled him all up for the barrel race tomorrow morning she tied him to the trailer to dry. He didn't suffer he just went. Right there where he stood and loved being brushed and eat his daily grain.
May he rest in peace and I pray that our Lord will help Maddie get some peace....and ME too.
My heart breaks every time we loose an animal but to watch your little girl hurt so bad over the loss of her best friend just hurts so much more.
