Having your heart RIPPED right outa your chest!

Sad news, Safe Haven has lost Diamond! He was one of the first horses that Linda R. started Safe Haven with! He was quite swayed back, as you can see! & that was ok, he was still very happy & the vets said he was not in pain! We stopped anyone from riding him years ago, but in the last few months, he had started to stumble a lot & was just getting more unsteady every day!
So the very hard decision was made & we had him humanely euthanized last week. I met them up at the vets, & Linda R. Holly, Dr. Hillary & I saw him to his final moments!
I scratched him on the forehead, that he dearly loved to rub on you, &&& then even tho, it is a bad habit, I let him rub his head up & down my side, just once more for old time's sake! He was a happy camper!
He sure was one of the favorites out at the ranch! My Grand Daughter, Lydia, when she was about 11, she was riding him in the arena one day & there was a rattlesnake crawling threw the arena & Diamond never moved!!! He just stood still, so we could take care of the problem! Good BOY!
Our hearts have been ripped right out of our chests, but, we find solace in knowing that he is up there in those Rainbow Bridge Meadows, romping with his good buddy, Patches, & they are young & strong!
Bye for now,
Linda C.
