RIP Rex

RIP Sweet Rex

My daughter's horse died the night before last. He was her best friend. Rex pulled her out of herself when she was going thru some bad times earlier this year and became her best friend. He taught her a lot. She learned to canter with him. She rode bareback for the first time two days before he passed away. He gave her the confidence she had been lacking and the best friend she needed during hard times. Maybe that was why he was with us, to help her, though it was for far too short of a time. I will forever be grateful for what he did for her. I just wish we'd had longer to love him in life.

He wasn't just a pet to us. He had a part of our heart and our hearts broke when he passed away unexpectedly.
