Awwwww..... 'tis a sad day indeed...

Ever since I was a kid of age 8, riding horses has been my primary physical therapy (I have CP, and cannot walk without crutches, and even then, not easily, and horses increase my strength and independance, even after I leave the saddle), and though I'll never ride thouroughbred like Slew, the spirit and generosity of all the "common" horses I've known has both inspired and humbled me.

If Slew's spirit and strength can be seen by even those unfamiliar with horses, the lost must be doubly felt by those who knew him well.

May Epona open wide the gates of the Otherworld to him, and lead him to pasture beneath her sweet apple trees.
