Thanks so much for sharing this sad news with us.   I can only imagine what Jeanne must be going thru right now.  I visited Our Mims back in '09... & I realized what TLC +++ was rendered in love & care to these elder mares.  I 've always asked Jeanne, if  I get to that age, if she would take me into her ' wonderful older mare spa'.

I can only hope that  Mother  Nature,  making that  lighting bolt , may not have contributed to Hana's entering her eternal home...as she was soooo loved & taken care of,  in her earthly home.....Our Mims. 

I realize tho.,  that Mother Nature has her 'ways' & may know best...in the long run.

edit...b/c of spelling...since there is no spell check on this site,  if one doesn't  pay for it . GRRRR !

Jeanne, please don't ever underestimate how much I love you and The Ladies...........we all do and we all grieve deeply when God welcomes one of The Ladies to their Eternal Home.  Timeless Sue and Hana Bride were shining from the inside out when I saw them in April.............all of the Ladies were.  I have nothing but good memories of all the Heavenly Ladies.  I'll be sending a donation this month in honor of our Angels.

Jeanne,

Every trip to Our Mims and Old Friends is bittersweet because I know that some will leave us before I am able to get back to visit.  I try to soak up their scents, so that I can take them with me when I  leave. No matter, the void still comes when they are gone.  Hana was cherished by all of us who were blessed to have known her.

We are all excited about the Secretariat Festival in Paris, Ky on Saturday, September 29!

Lotka and Elmhurst will be there enticing children to join their fan clubs!

What a smile this picture brings to my face.  These two  and RR from OF will present a day to remember.
Hugs to Miss Stalwart,

Great pictures Lynda! Thank you for sharing............how are The Ladies?  Is everyone feeling okay? How was Ms. Blue......was she cordial:)

LOL! Yea, about as much as a horse can be when they smell carrots and peppermints.  They all seem to be just fine! I believe there is one horse that is having some issues, Jeanne can update on that...I dont want to name the wrong horse.

Thanks Lynda.......hopefully Jeanne will come on and chat a minute............everyone looks pretty sassy! Love the kitty............is he/she Cruella's baby?
