It’s taken me almost a week to try and even write this post😔💔last weekend we said goodbye to one of my soulmates, I have been having a very hard time with this and I appreciate everyone’s love and support.
I am going to share some things I’ve been writing since we lost Dudley, and share some of my favorite pictures with you all 💔💔💔🐴🐴🐴😇😇😇
When an animal comes into your life, especially and 26 year old off-track thoroughbred horse, you know they won’t be around forever and you know at one point you’ll have to watch them go. When that day came unexpectedly and super suddenly last week, my heart shattered into a million pieces, like I knew it always would. Horses although strong are very fragile animals, and no day with them is guaranteed..
I will never forget the glimpse of heaven that being with Dudley gave me. He was not only my rock, partner & baby boy, but a very special horse who completely reignited my passion for riding and caring for horses. His patience and skill set matched perfectly with myself, an experienced rider getting their chops back after not riding for 14 years. He also happened to be the ABSOLUTE SWEETEST guy, with the silliest and most unique personality, he really touched everyone who met and worked with him.
From the first moment I got on Dudley, I trusted him implicitly. I don’t know why, but we really just connected and understood each other in simple ways that made our bond so special. I trusted his every move and I know he trusted me as well, up until his last moments which I am thankful to have been with him. Dudley also brought an amazing friend into my life I am so thankful for you and how you shared your boy with me for the last year, I’ll never forget any of it.
My entire life I’ve dreamed of having a bond and love like this with a horse I could call my own - like I said Dudley allowed me to touch heaven. I really still can’t believe that he is gone. I miss him so much my body and spirit aches. I know that we will be together again on the other side and I can’t wait to ride together in my dreams and in our next life🐴🖤 forever in my heart and on my mind - Dudley aka ‘Pegs Boy’ May 1995-December 2021
