I...I cried my eyes out when I read this last night. I'm so sorry for your loss. Letting go of our animal friends is never easy, but it's always the right thing to do. May you find some peace and comfort in the company of your other horses.Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648283631158967291.post-19443972487286351392008-06-26T08:40:00.000-07:002008-06-26T08:40:00.000-07:00What a lovely thing you did for Ariel.

He is 22 this year and luckily in good health, but I know just how much you loved Ariel. Our first horse is truly the most special.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading the stories and enjoying the pictures of Ariel in days in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648283631158967291.post-77015047430221314792008-06-26T08:27:00.000-07:002008-06-26T08:27:00.000-07:00I couldn't figure out why you had put down Ariel, ...I couldn't figure out why you had put down Ariel, so I went back (I'm a new lurker) and read your previous posts. Now I think you did what was right for Ariel rather than hold on to her for a little while longer to prevent your sadness. I truly admire what you've done for her. I don't think an animal fears death the way we do and I wish I had the guts to take care of my dog when it was her Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204208747815725487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648283631158967291.post-7314813557515104572008-06-26T01:05:00.000-07:002008-06-26T01:05:00.000-07:00That was nicely written.

It was really nice to hear that although challenging at times, you stuck with Ariel and became a better person and rider because of it. Take care of yourself the next few days.Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648283631158967291.post-29973053298821133792008-06-25T07:46:00.000-07:002008-06-25T07:46:00.000-07:00I feel your pain. This post made me think of Samba...I feel your pain. This post made me think of Samba. I did not have her anywhere near as long as you had Ariel but having to make the decision about setting her free was indescribably painful. I know I did the right thing for her and I know you did too. I hope your time of mourning and reflection passes quickly for you because you not only set Ariel free you also set yourself free.
