R.I.P. little buddy

I have had quarter horses all my life. They can be friends, companions, tools, any or all. The really good ones tend to never leave for another home or job. When their legs give out and they can not get up or hardly move around we know the time has come. It is never easy. It is hard. I have ageldint that was kicked in the knee s a foal it is big not pretty probably has some arthritis, he is 12 now and many horses live to 20 and beyond. He gives his all, never complains, never tries to say he can't or is too tired. He might outlive me and that is OK.
