This has been a tough horse year for us at HopeWell Ranch. Ty and I returned from a weekend away to find Opie in a lot of pain. We called Dr. Pol’s office and Dr. Arcy came out. She palpated his colon and found tumors in the lining of his colon. My sweet boy looked into my eyes with the incredible trust he always showed to those who were his herd mates and we both knew. His freedom from pain needed to come tonight.
To say this beautiful horse impacted lives is an understatement. He brought healing, joy, love, kindness, and much fun to those he interacted with. Tonight as we walked together trying to soothe his pain, he showed again that he would have followed me anywhere. Through doors to small, rooms to cramped-he just chose to be with me. This was so much his nature-he understood that his job was to “be” for people. I will always treasure the time we had with Opie and I will miss him. Please keep all of us in your prayers. The loss of this sweet boy will be keenly felt by many.
Run free sweet Opie and I know you will love being reunited with Dreamer and the rest of our heavenly herd. 💕
