This has been one of the saddest days of my life. Today I had to bury one of my best friends. A thoroughbred mare named York's Princess. She was a wonderful horse and came into my life by accident 11 years ago. A kind people loving and affectionate, friendly horse, she was also a terrific jumper with great scope who was fearless and loved to work. She was fun to hack, show, hunt and nothing bothered her. She was never sick a day in her life. She slipped while playing in my pasture yesterday on some wet hay that was still frozen underneath and fell through the fence. I found her dead this morning when I went out to feed. I will always wonder if I could have saved her life if I had just gotten there a couple of hours earlier. She died because, unlike humans, she didnt have hands. Rest in peace my wonderful friend, I will always love and remember you Your friend, always, Pam
