I have run out of words to describe how hard it is to say goodbye to another horse. All the words that come to mind seem overused and have lost their meaning.

I made the decision to end Virgil’s suffering and it was a decision that tore through me more than I expected. One would think that with time that it would get easier for me to say goodbye to these horses, having done it so often, but I have found it to actually get harder. And I think a big aspect of that is that over the years we have been able to make so many miracles happen. So many miraculous recoveries when every odd was stacked against them. An intoxicating feeling of power through healing their broken bodies.

But we aren’t God. We don’t control fate or have the ability to change it.

And when there’s a situation that we are unable to cure or fix, that intoxicating feeling evaporates and leaves you feeling helpless…. And with so many questions… like why was Virgil deprived of a miracle?

Virgil’s time here was not entirely filled with pain and suffering. There were many happy days and even more happy moments, but we ultimately lost the battle to his raging infection and knew there was no coming back from it.

But the decision of whether it was time to let go of Virgil was not a hard one. As Josh put it, “what makes this rescue special is that when it comes time to say goodbye to these horses there is never doubt or confusion. And that is because every option of medical care is given to these horses before that point.”. And I wholeheartedly agree with him. We never have feelings of “what if we did this” or “should we have done that”, because we do it. They leave this world because it is their time, not because the last people that loved them failed them.

This loss was a very hard one for me for many reasons. Having just lost my brother, it felt cruel to be having to say goodbye to another thing, and I sat with those feelings and thoughts for some time….

Archie is a 6 year old gelding we saved last summer. He is a sweeter than sweet boy who adores attention.

When we got him, he was very skinny with worms, and was COVERED head to toe in bite marks. We gave him a few months to get better and built some strength.

He was advertised as a riding horse, and when the time came to test that, it quickly became apparent that something was wrong. This lovable sweet horse whom is great on the ground, started bucking when a saddle and weight was put on him. While some may think that this is because he’s a “bad” horse, we did not and decided to explore medically.

Archie has kissing spine. A rider / saddle triggers the points on his spine and causes immense pain.

While retirement is always an option we are okay with, I wanted to give him the chance at more. I wanted to give him the chance to be a riding horse and find a person. Luckily, he is a great candidate for kissing spine surgery.

And tomorrow is his big surgery day. The surgery will be between $1,800 to $2,200. I will share the whole process on Patreon and IG subscription, including X-rays and surgery, but we need donations to help with this expense.

While we are hopeful that this will work, I am going in calm and at peace because no matter the outcome Archie will be loved and adored the rest of his days. This surgery though, gives him a chance at a less painful life and maybe a riding career… he’s only 6, and while his previous owners may have thought his spine meant his life should be over… we certainly do not.

So please consider donating to help us better his life 🙏🏼

Let’s give Archie the future he deserves!
