Some of you know I was trying to raise money for my horse, Willow, through commissions, but unfortunately her time on this earth has come to an end from an issue that even the vets blew off until it was too late...

She had a form of paralysis in her throat since before we'd even owned her. Her esophagus was gradually closing until the point of her developing choke, where food and water cannot pass into her stomach due to a blockage. The vet broke through that block in her throat, but by that evening she still wasn't drinking and any grass she would eat kept coming out of her nose. I'm most upset about this not only because she had to be put down the day after my birthday (the fifth), but because no one told me until just yesterday. I've been out of state visiting my fiancé, so it really has hurt that I wasn't there for my mare when she was always there for me...

I felt like I needed to get that off of my chest... It's hard to try and come to terms with her passing, but I know that she wouldn't want me to shed any more tears, but rather be happy that she's no longer suffering. I love you, Willow. Have fun being a beautiful angel. <3
