Saying Goodbye to My Best Friend

It’s taken me a few days to find the words for this…

On Thursday, I had to say goodbye to my best friend Anmaat after a second, severe bout of colic. Despite doing everything I could and giving him every chance to fight, the kindest and most humane decision was to let him go peacefully.

He wasn’t just a horse—he was my heart, my comfort, and my constant. The barn feels empty without him, and I’m still trying to process this loss.

Along with the heartbreak has come unexpected and significant veterinary expenses from both emergencies. I hate to even ask, but if anyone is able to help lighten this burden, it would mean more than I can express. Every little bit helps, and even just sharing this means so much.

Thank you for loving him with me. I will carry him with me always.
