The only thing I could turn to- or my “escape”- was put down today. He is the only thing I could never stay mad at for long, even though he risked my life each time I rode him. I have no idea what I’m going to do at the ranch now for a while, but I still have to go. It’s the only way I can let him go. He was the most amazing creature I’ve ever seen in my life. The most athletic, the sweetest, the cutest…. the list goes on and on. He was my teammate. I’ve never imagined a heart bigger than his. Right now I bet he’s in a huge green pasture with Dodger, bucking and galloping as far as the eye can see. I’m going to miss him so much. R.I.P. Arie~ May 1985-March 2012
