Unfortunately it is a very sad day for us. Our beautiful Clydesdale mare "Dolly" passed away. Our veterinarian said she had congestive heart failure. He said he had never seen a Clydesdale as old as her in all of his years in Practice. She would have been equal to 110 in human years. She lived here with us for over 17 years, and we rescued her when she was 10. She was originally from Nova Scotia and came to Ontario in her younger years. They call draft horses gentle giants, and she was that for sure. She will be sadly missed. We loved looking out and seeing her eating grass in the pasture. Now she is eating greener grass at the Rainbow Bridge. I like to post about happy things, but life is not always about happy things, and I consider my Blog a diary of my life. So Dolly, you were loved so much, and we will miss you always. You brought us so much joy while you lived here with us.

ReplyDeleteShe is romping with the other mares and fillies, chasing butterflies and eating clover. She has blessed your lives with her presence. As my favorite author once said,

Smile because it happened."

What a beautiful girl Dolly was. You were so lucky to have had her in your life for so long as she was with you. I think Clydsdales are just wonderful. I too live in Ontario on a farm and near us there is a large farm that has 6 gorgeous Clydesdales in the field. We have watch these magnificent creatures since they were babies and this spring they have 4 babies of their own.
ReplyDeleteDolly must be kicking up her heals and munching away on green grass now with some other lovely horses over the Rainbow Bridge.
blessings & bliss
