TODAY MY PONY WENT TO HEAVEN…

My heart is absolutely shattered. I found out some horrible news today. After years of training, amazing memories, and special moments Meeko became one of the most fantastic ponies in the entire world. Everyone loved him and he was the most gentle, kind, fun soul. You could do anything with him and he would keep you safe. Less than a month ago Meeko went to his new home. We found him the perfect family. He wasn’t even listed for sale, things just worked out. His new family absolutely adored him and took excellent care of him. I received many happy updates, videos, and cute pictures. He was loved. Last night they had a horrible storm come through and found Meeko passed away in the field. I too would keep my horse out with tornado warnings, no one is at fault here this is just shit luck. The thought was that he was struck by lightning and suffered a cardiac event. I can’t imagine their sorrow, I really can’t. I am absolutely devastated myself. My pony is no longer on this earth. It’s no different than losing a horse right at the farm, he was my amazing, perfect pony. No one is at fault, but I’m just extremely sad. Fly high Meeko I love you so much and I know someday I’ll get to see and ride you once more for now run in those green grass fields wild and free. This video is a tribute to Meeko, and how amazing he was. He was LOVED and cherished by many and his memories will live on forever.

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. How fortunate you found each other, and he had such a good life. You gave that to him, and he returned your love many times over. I have a theory about animal souls. I think they go on to make someone else, somewhere else happy after we have had our time with them. I don't think a precious soul is ever wasted. Hugs to you ((❤)).

[@freespiritequestrian]

Thank you. ❤️

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Somewhere I have a poem tucked away. I cut it out of a magazine. It was about dogs, but would apply to horses as well. It said if you had a dog (horse) that you loved and that dog (horse) passed away, your dog (horse) would send you another to take his place. So don't be so sure you will never have another pony like this one. The next sale you attend, Meeko may have his replacement waiting for you.

You are a very accomplished rider. Love and light. Keep up with all you do!
