Lilliput Acres Perfectly Gold

[kmh]

Last week we lost our mare, Lilliput Acres Perfectly Gold, to colic.

She was due to foal in April 2010, but she aborted on February 17th.

Perdy was not recovering from the birth as she should have.

After various treatments over the course of the next two days, she was not improving.

On Saturday, February 20th she developed severe colic. We had the vet out again, however he gave us a grave diagnosis. Her colic was so severe he said she would never survive the 2 hour trip to the surgery facility.

We made the difficult decision to have the vet put her down.

In our 18 years in the Miniature Horse business, this is the first time we have lost a mature horse. We have lost a few foals at birth due to complications, but to lose a mare that we have owned and loved for 10 years was devastating.

I created a tribute in Perdy's memory that I would like to share.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I, too, lost a beautiful mare a few years ago that had been my friend for many years...she was the mare I started with. My darling Missy passed at age 20, due to complications foaling. I also put a tribute to her on my website. So, I know the heartbreak you are going through. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you gave her the best home possible while she was with you.

Sometimes words can't describe what it feels like to lose one of your special little ones. You take some peace in knowing that you did everything possible for her. Rest in peace.

It hurts, HURTS to lose a foal, but it doesn't compare to the PAIN the loss of an adult horse that been part of your family for years. I know, I've had my share. I wish I could do something to ease your pain. {{{{Hugs}}}} I'm SO sorry!
