Description when the sun shines
we'll shine together
told you i'd be here forever
said i'd always be your friend
took an oath
i'm gona stick it out till the end
===

About a month before my pony passed away the yard in which I kept her at at the time decided that they would wean her from her best friend [a hunter gelding]. They were inseperable; thus if my girl didn't survive the winter, Merlin would be left behind to cope alone. At first this was done without my knowledge, when I went up their every morning and night they were together, but during the day they would keep them apart for as long as they could stand their whinnies across the field/yard to eachother. He was the only gelding that would go out with a whole field of mares; he would graze with her, lie down next to her, groom her, follow her everywhere and even protect her as to a story that is far to long to tell now. This whole separation business went on for about two weeks before someone told me what was going on; I moved both of them in the end, 'cause if you have never tried moving a horse who is completely devoted to another, then you'll have your work cut out for you.
A couple of weeks after she was settled into her new home, my girl decided it was her time to go. They took him away when the vet came and before I knew it she was gone. The thing is; that aparently you can't live without your best friend on earth, because Merlin passed away not two days after her. It would be stupid to say that a horse died of a broken heart, but maybe friendship extends beyond life expectancy through all species.

This is dedicated to their extraordinary friendship. B; I miss you terribly.

This is so sad. Favorited it in a heartbeat, too. So sorrowful, yet so flawless.

this is touching, beuatiful, i cant really find the words to describe it. what a story:/ its nice to know there are still people out there that treat horses like more than a hobby, or a skill. :] you really sound like you care for your animals:]

[ps, im not sure if anyones mentioned this yet, but in the top where the words are, 'friends' is misspelled:].]

I love how you used a moon instead of a sun. For the moon can bring out the light, even in the darkest of places.

This piece brought me to tears. Of course, sitting in my crowded living room with my Dad, I got a few strange looks, but honestly. I stared at this piece for hours. Beautiful. And my own horse, Rowdy, had a friend like that. They were born on the same day and grew up together. Now they're in different places. It's sad, really, that friendships that are so strong and intense end up becoming seperated and end in the worst ways. Or sometimes, in the best. It's just as complex and confusing as human friendships, only horses are upfront with their emotions while we, as humans, tend to avoid telling others about what we are feeling.

I could not help myself. I just had to re-compliment this piece. It is so stunning and so full of emotion. I believe what you say about life and friend ships. And I understand about missing a dear friend. I lost my horse years ago, And it still feels the same for me. Everyday my heart still hirts for that whinny, or the nudge. Those searching, caring eyes, looking in my pockets for a treat. I miss my horse more then any human I have ever met. She was there for me when no one else was, and she was the one who let me cry in her mane when the whole world seemed to give me the cold shoulder. I can not say, I know exactly how you feel, but I understand how you feel to a very large degree. I hope you are doing well, and I must say again, This is my fave. Piece. The emotions and the story behind it... It is all so perfect and refined! On a scale from 1 to 20, You get a 90,000,000. x] 90 million plus some! <3<3<3. --LBS---

horses are just amazing in every aspect, but I find that they are even more amazing when you think about how close they get to one another and how they can really show affection and love towards another horse or animal

I don't know, hun. I've heard of people passing away of a broken heart before. Sometimes, a very devoted elderly person will lose a spouse, and a few days or weeks later the other will die. I saw it happen with a man and a dog- the sheepdog died, and immediately after, the man's health declined. A month and a few days later, he died. I'd like to think it wasn't pure coincidence. Ether way, if it's proven to occur in humans, and I saw it with a human and a dog, why can't horses die of a broken heart? Ether way, I'm so sorry for your babies. <3

Absolutely stunning piece. I'm speechless.
