She will definitely be missed. I do have a problem with the old mare that's left. My old gang was 6 horses years ago, now down to 2. Angie just has the hardest time when we loose one. Last January I lost another mare that was a month away from turning 31. Angie was a nervous wreck for days, then seemed depressed for quite a while. This time she seemed a bit calmer, she had plenty of time with the body, watched as my husband buried her. After that was over she ran around yelling. Last night she came up for dinner, by the time she was about finished she started melting down again. This morning she was a little better but when I went to turn her out she just seemed completely confused. Kept looking back at the barn. Bunny, the mare we lost died out in the pasture, no where near the barn. I just feel so bad for Angie. I know it will pass but seems to take forever for her. Normally animals deal with this better than we do but not in this case. I still have nine horses left but they are in different herds. If they go in order of age, Angie will be next. That would leave her brother who I can put with the two younger geldings but if he goes before her have no clue how I will handle that. She will be a complete mess.
