VAGAS HEARTBREAK TRIBUTE

Lucy, you were the best horse anyone could have ever asked for. You were calm and full of strength right up to the end. You were brave and faithful, and you deserve better than anything any human could have given you. You were calm and cool in the face of danger and put the faith in your rider to get you through.
You died an unworthy death, of old age and weakness. You kept the other horses in line and made sure everything was taken care of and had a peaceful leadership- one worthy of a kingdom as big as the world.

Unless you have ever owned a horse, you don't know the true love you have for one thing and the absolute pain for when you lose them.

Thank you Vagas Heartbreak, for being the best first horse I could have ever had.
Good bye.

LUCY DIED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yes. She was an amazing horse. I miss her so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Secret-Key


You’ll never greet me hello again

Never nicker for your grain at night

Or rub your nose on my shoulder.

You won’t be cribbing anymore.


I won’t feel your quiet presence behind me

While I’m not paying attention to you

But you’re there. You knew my secrets.

Like a locket

Locked to the outside world

But keeping secrets and memories locked inside

Safe and sound from any who pretend to care

Only the one holding the key can see them

Remember them


You held all the secrets, not only mine

Holding all your own in a different locket, close to your heart

You made room for mine too


You taught so many people so many things.

How to ride, how to fly, how to fall, how to get back on.

How to love. To live. To age.

To die.


We hoped you could see

More than the dirty walls and far fetched dreams

I wish I could tell you one more time

Thanks

For keeping my secrets

And teaching me about the world

And being the quiet presence behind me

When I didn’t bother to say hello.


We loved you girl.

We really did.

Even if you got pushed to the side

By other dreams and young hearts

We still loved you.

We still do.

Don’t you worry anymore girl.

The boys will behave themselves

I’ll see to it for you

It’s the least I can do.


Just close your eyes,

The sun is going down.


Maybe I’ll tell your son we love him

Even though we’ve never met him

I’ll tell the white horse you left behind that he’s still your prince charming

He can keep a secret too.


I’m sorry I didn’t rub your ears more.

Or stop long enough to talk to you often

But when I did

I always walked out feeling a little better

Less heavy in the heart


Remember when

You were young

So was I

We flew and cried and lived and died

But not for real


You're the reason for the tears on all our faces

The common and unknowing tribute

To the first

And the last time

We felt your presence

Cheers


Thanks for teaching me the best thing I could ever learn

To get back up

To stick with it

To never let go

Because

Someday,

It may be too late.


One more day

One more smile

One last sunset

Maybe I’d be satisfied


When that sun goes down I’ll be wishing still
For one more day with you.

Stonesong is a wonderful poet!

I'll miss her too......

It's really sad. The horses have been spending a lot of time on her grave.

Awe that's so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah.

Did little red do that to?

They all did.

Was there a lot of fighting?

There was!! I am surprised you noticed that with her gone there would be. Clever. Yes, she was the leader, so they fought a lot of leadership and Boo won, but Jake and Ranger are still battling for second. Red just stayed at the bottom.

Poor thing!! Maybe if he filled out more he would a bit more confident..........

Bye Lucy... You taught me how to canter! I will NEVER EVER forget that.

I've never cantered before.........................

That's cause you don't have horses, Sky. Your a natural rider though, so it won't be long.

Yeah... If I weren't so nervous

I love your avatar!! That's a great picture of Boo!!!!!

Thanks. He is the love of my life So pretty.......

I went and petted him, Ranger and Jake today.

I also gave them some hay................

Thanks. That nutrition thing was not fun.

Was it nasty?

More boring. Did you know that when you eat sugar, 30% of it goes immediately into your bloodstream, so that just raises your blood sugar. No nutrition there........

Oh. Oh well

Yep.

but I love sugar...
