So sorry to hear that, Ed. I've not had to put a horse down in 20+ years - and had to put 2 down in a month. 
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

That’s bad, Ed. Did you ever breed her?

Damn, Ed, that's just no good. At only 9 no less. How's Momma holding up?

Sorry to hear about your loss. My granddaughter lost her horse just about a year ago, so I know how you feel.

That’s bad, Ed. Did you ever breed her? Nope. She was Barbara's horse and she made the decisions about that stuff for her. She wasn't a world champion anything, just a good, solid, dependable horse that loved kids and tolerated most adults. Kinda like us. Ed

My granddaughter had been riding this old mare for about 5 or 6 years, and was very attached to her. The mare came down with the colic, and by the time I found her late that afternoon, it was too late. I called the vet, but there wasn't much he could do.

Beautiful mare. Sorry to hear that you lost her while she was right in her prime.
Nine years old, they finally know just about everything they can be taught. You know just exactly how far you can trust her with your loved ones. And you expect the pleasure of their company for another twenty years.
Again, my heartfelt condolences to your family.
