So So's Ebony Gal

In searching through all my photos, I have never taken one of Ebony, now she is gone. She wasn't that photogenic anyway, but she was a great horse!

Ebony died on the prettiest day so far this summer from sudden and severe colic. She was 30 years old. She became my friend after a rough start, but spent the last years retired, fat and toothless. On a mash diet, kept in the barn when it was cold and coddled. I kept that darn $80 Furminator because for once in her life, she was first at the fence and would stand stock still while I brushed her. Well, not still, she would offer the parts of her that were itchy for me to groom.

I am so glad the evening before she died, I spend a while with her calming all her itchies. She was fine at the time, so I am glad she didn't suffer long.

Goobye Ebony.
