We lost a great horse today. J found Lady dead this afternoon. In a 15 acre field she managed to get wedged between the fence and a steep bank. She was eating hay with the other horses 5 hours earlier. When J came back from feeding the cattle he found her but she was already gone. There was nothing that he could do. I'm not sure how old she was but she was probably in her twenty's.

Sounds like she had a good life and was a good horse. Her tail was sure unique.
I'm so sorry. She seems like she was a Grand Gal and lived a fine life...and left without much drama - just the way many of hope to also go out...
I'm sorry...it's hard to lose an animal. I think she must have had a good life!
Oh, I'm so sorry!
Sad day, indeed. It's tough to lose a loyal friend and companion. Sorry for your loss.
Aw, this makes me sad. Even though I'd never met her I know how very hard it is losing one that you love so much
I'm sorry for all of ya'll losing her.
I am sorry to hear about your horse. However, I have a question about horse death. How do you deal with the body? Bury or haul away? We live on 40 acres of rocky land and have 4 horses. One day I might have to face this dilemma as well.
What a wonderful lady she was. Clearly, she will be missed!
(Btw- since closing down my blog, I had to fill out this online form and I just stuck Daisy in the name for the fun of it - and now that's how my name comes up. But, it's me: Deanna.)
Blessings on you and your family and especially J's Dad as you get used to life without that beautiful Lady.
Blessings.
