13th November- A Sad Day

11/15/2008

2 Comments

 

Today was a sad day as when it was time for the horses to be put in at night, Merlin was found dead in the field. This was very unexpected and a big shock to everyone as he showed no signs of illness earlier in the day. He appeared to have laid down on his side and made no attempt to get up again. He had no signs of any accident or illness and appeared to have died peacefully. The other horses were very quiet and upset to have lost him, particularly the ones who were in his paddock at the time as he was a popular and friendly horse. He will be sadly missed by a lot of people as although an older horse was only just developing his talents and still had a lot of potential and a lot to give.

    I am the Chair of the Committee that runs Summerfield Stables. I like helping out with the horses as much as I can but I find it hard to find the time.
