Every day that we have together is a gift. As Silk ages, I feel the softness in her growing and our bond gets even stronger.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-12302285697792035362015-01-12T08:44:37.929-05:002015-01-12T08:44:37.929-05:00It is good to be prepared.

She taught me some things about how to do it even better when the time comes again. Keil Bay will be 26 in April and we are still doing mostly the same things we have always done together so I hope he keeps going for many more years. But like you, I'm aware, and I'm trying to be ready for the path he takes when it's his time to move on. <br /><br />That said - a friend who lives nearby has a horse who is 36 and still going strong. We may have more years with these dear friends than we think we do!! <br /><br />Hugs and warm thoughts. It's a big deal to have the courage to get ready for these things.billie hintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122029489079192488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-12755661973843508932015-01-12T07:49:09.254-05:002015-01-12T07:49:09.254-05:00I agree that it's sad to think about but a rea...I agree that it's sad to think about but a really good idea to be prepared. As someone with an aging pony, I've also thought about this and am trying to be as prepared as possible.

One of our horses lived to 36 and Berlin is 30 right now. We have lost many horses over the years and they all had the best that I could give them. Treated with respect, loved and spoiled rotten. You are a very responsible owner and both of your girls are in very good hands.Lori Skooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458010787337492501noreply@blogger.com
