Just a gentle giant that you could do anything with whether it be hauling any load or throwing someone on her that had never rode before she was good with whatever. RIP ol' large Marge you will be missed

She must have stepped on something but for the life of me cant find what it was. She had a puncture wound on the back of her foot that caught an artery. I stuck my finger in the wound to my second knuckle after she died and the wound still went farther.
