Quite suddenly and unexpectedly colic hit Andrew’s little horse, Sasha.

Unfortunately the battle to save her was lost.

This little mare has taught Andrew a lot. She was  honest, hardy, reliable, safe and faithful.

Sasha put her heart and soul into every task that Andrew put in front of her.

May heaven have lots of green grass for you little grey mare.

 I took this photo as we rode home on Thursday afternoon. Never in a million years, did I realise this would be their last ride home.

  So very sorry Ainsley.
  I think we all have a terrible colic tale to tell, such a cruel, quick and serious affliction, all too common.
  Our thoughts are with you all.
