@@gentlegiants1974 yeah we got ourselves in a bind a few years ago, and now keep a lot more horses to make sure we're not short for big jobs. I expect we will be this year though as we have 3 to foal in June. They are very expensive though! how many do you keep?
@@hitchinfarm I had 6. 5 younger active workers and an old retired mare 28 yrs of age. The old girl was my schoolmaster, first time hooking a colt, first time teaching a pupil, "spare" horse but she is pretty well past the point of fieldwork. I did rake a bit with her last summer, but not heavy tillage anymore. I now have 5, all grade farm type black Percherons more or less matched.
I'm sorry for you, it's hard to come to terms with the loss of an animal that was part of your family. You even feel sorry for your horse, you have a big heart, God wants to see mercy in us, in every being. This is the will of the Almighty, hold on. I don't speak English well, I hope you will understand me
The worst part of having animals is losing them. Especially when they're young. Keep the faith.
Thank you
Yes, I have been there. They are spirits lovely spirits.
Such love and beauty! My heart goes out to her human. 😢😢 I recently lost my fur baby (beagle) and understand your pain. ❤
Thank you
Sorry to hear about this, our thoughts are with you.
Thank you

Thank you.
So sorry.
Thank you

Thank you. I really miss her, in my heart, and also in the hitch. I really needed her power for spring tillage.

I understand. Thank you for the encouragement
A beautiful psalm. Until you and Dottie meet again in the Lord's new Garden of Eden.
Thank you
