I'm sorry for your loss. She will be waiting for you across the rainbow bridge.

I will keep you and your children in my thoughts and prayers.
 
I am so sorry for your loss, please know that you should always feel ok to post. We are all very pre-occupied, but that never means we don't have time to help out another in need, be it just as an ear to listen.

I know that I try to read as many posts as possible, but when I am at work, I don't get to reply to any of them and then by the time I get home, I just can't get to all of them as I would like to. :no:

Again, my deepest condolences, it sounds like your little girl was very special and I am sure that she will be terribly missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Miss Scarlett! What an awful thing to happen.
 
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious little girl. I know it will be hard on you and your children for some time. Everyone is right, do not apologize for letting us know about little Scarlet, Marty would be the first to put you in her thoughts and prayers and offer a big hug. Pass those hugs onto your kids and let them know that Scarlet has crossed the rainbow bridge and is playing with all the other horses that have gone before and she has lots of new playmates.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Miss Scarlet sounds like she was much loved and will be missed.

I lost my favorite mare last year - my 50% Arenosa mare, Hunt Acres Candy Kis. We found her dead in the pasture 3 days after my Mother passed away ... We had a necropsy done at Cornell and they couldn't find out what happened - just found that she WAS in foal.

It is never easy to lose one of our beloved horses ... they do become part of our families. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you all so much for all the well wishes the day it happened I was numb and I don't think it had quite sank in to the kids either. Last night hubby told me that the guy that hit her sat and rubbed her till the cops came and then he did while the cop was looking for us. Hubby also sat and talked to her for a while when he give the cop all of our information. So I am glad she got attention like she always loves. The day it happened was so hectic to begin with our son had a Dr's appt so I had no chance to really grasp it. Last night my sweet husband held me tight while I talked about her and cried. He was so sweet to do that for me. My son still thinks she is coming back. He just can't get it. My daughter says she is up in heaven with her Grandma Skaggs and Grandma is brushing her.

I was reading about your loss & getting ready to reply then I saw the picture of Scarlet. My heart skipped a beat - I am so sorry to hear this............ Your Scarlet was my daughters sweet Scarlet. The picture that you posted of Scarlet is one that we took at the Julep Cup show in Lexington. The ribbon behind her was won by Scarlet........................................................................ If you want to read the following, here is a bit of history on Miss Scarlet - if not then again I am so sorry to hear this................................................................................... Years ago ( late 80's ?) we went to look at a mare that was for sale. While walking around the pasture a filly, Scarlet kept following our daughter Michelle (13 teenish) around. Michelle said, "oh daddy please buy her for me" so he did...... We took Scarlet home, cleaned her up & took her to her first horse show two weeks later. Michelle won a few blue ribbons with her. A trainer at the show asked Lee if Scarlet was for sale. Lee said you will have to talk to my wife & daughter about that. I had told Michelle that Scarlet was her horse & she would not be sold unless she wanted to - now what child is going to sell the horse that they just won blue ribbons with! At the next show the trainer offered $8,000 for Scarlet. I said NO again because long after the money has been spent Michelle would always remember that I broke my promise to her and a promise IS worth more than money................... Anyway Michelle showed Scarlet for a few years in halter & showmanship - winning many blue ribbons & having lots of fun. They became best buddies. Michelle went off to college & we bred Scarlet a few times but her foals were aborted between the 7th & 10th months (even the foal sired by Buck Echo). Extensive tests revealed no reason as to why she could not carry the foals to full term. Her one live foal we named Imagine That & is living like a king at a friends farm.... We sold Scarlet as a pet not to be bred again ................................................. I was thinking of Scarlet the other day when I was talking to my friend about I T (Imagine That).......................... I just stopped to pull out my picture album of Michelle & Scarlet. A few pictures in the show ring, one of Michelle laying in the pasture with Scarlet munching grass near her head, one with Michelle & our dog & one with Scarlet resting her head on the back of Michelles head..................... Brings back memories of how fond Michelle was of Scarlet & how well those two got along.................. I also have one of Michelles 15th birthday cake. I had taken a picture of Scarlet to the decorator & had her draw Scarlet on her cake............................................................................. Guess I'm getting long here, sorry.............. It seems your family was fond of sweet Miss Scarlet also......... Again I am so sorry - I know the sadness from losing a horse that you have loved for awhile. I am sorry that your children have to experience the loss of a beloved pet - bless them.

What a small world it is, that Miss Scarlet was once another forum member's horse.
 
What a wonderful story about Miss Scarlet. I will pray for your heart to heal from this loss. I will also pray for the kind soal who cared for her at the end. No doubt that he is hurting too.
