colic can fuck itself. so can all the veterinary researchers who cant figure out a solution to it. so can whatever higher power up there decided that it would be a good idea to make my horse suffer through the most painful 30 hours of his life, before the vet was finally able to find the tumor. fuck.
it hurts so bad...paseo, why did it have to be him? he was SO healthy not 30 hours ago-running around and whinnying if i walked by. runnign up to me and searching my pockets for anything i might have. accidently removing my shirt in his search. blasting around the arena doing what he loved most-running. making his loud "hub bub" when it was time for grain. he taught me how to ride, he taught steff, he taught kiara...he takes care of the people he loves. he took care of ashley-who loved him as much as i did, i get to break the news on tuesday during her lesson.
its just so unfair, he was such an amazing horse...27 and going strong. a successful career as a polo horse and race horse, and one of the most loving animals i've ever met. if i had a bad day, i could just go lean against him while he layed down and he wouldnt move away. not many horses are like that....its not fair. for such and incredible horse to go like that-colic. he was in SO much pain, the groans he made, the fact that he couldnt get comfortable no matter what. he didnt get to eat or drink anything for over 30 hours...he was in so much pain all night, and all we could do was watch. i just wish we had known earlier and he didnt have to go through that.
fuck colic.
