R.I.P. Kay Cee

I have no Accent
Today I lost one of the best horses that has ever come into my life. I lost my Kay Cee today. She died giving birth to her last foal, a son who lived but unfortunately is not mine. I had Kay Cee on a breeders lease with friends who wanted a foal from her. She was to return home to me this winter after having weaned her foal.
I am still in shock & cannot talk on the phone anymore because I cannot stop crying when people call to comfort me.
I owned Kay Cee's mom before her. I picked out her farther & was there the night she was born. She was the most beautiful Palomino filly ever born I though.
I remember it all. Her first steps, her first bath. Funny story on her first bath. She got so spunky after her first bath, rearing & bucking. She was 8 weeks old and full of spirirt. Even into adult hood Kay Cee would want to rear & play after a bath. It was like the water made her so happy. She always stood like and angel for it but when you where through look out cause she was gonna be playful. She knew her knew her name well. Would come at a dead run when she heard me call for her. Even when she was in her stall, she could recognize my footsteps in a noisy barn & start her welcome call to me. She also gave the best hugs. If I was down I could always count on Kay Cee to make me feel better. I would hug her & she would bow her head & start nuzzling me in return. Kay Cee was injured as a young foal that kept her from being ridden so I never had the pleasure of being on her back. But we would take walks together, hand out in the pasture & generally really enjoyed each others company. Kay Cee was my special girl She had so much spunk at times that I was the only person who could handle her on the grounds. I knew she was always playing & would never hurt me. I watched her once chase a deer from her pasture & would have caught it if it didn't jump the fence lol. Kay Cee was my Trigger. She was as close to me as my dogs where. We had a very special relationship. She will be missed & I do not know how I am going to get past this. I cannot stop the tears & find it hard to breathe at times. I do not want to go to sleep knowing I am going to wake up into a world without my Kay Cee. Sorry for the long post but it is therapy for me at the moment.
R.I.P. my beloved Kay Cee. I saw you into the world & watched you grow like a proud father & just wish I was there to comfort you when you left this world.
 
That's hard Tim, my condolences. You'll get past it and you have help.
Very nice tribute to Kay Cee, buddy.
 
I am so so sorry for your loss Tim. I know how much you loved her. She was a beautiful horse and I can tell from how you talk about her that she had a wonderful, loving spirit. Treasure those memories my friend, they will help you get through this difficult time. Sending my love and hugs to you.
 
My gosh I'm so sorry. I too have a love of horses. It sounds like she had a magnificent life with you though. You'll always have your sweet memories, which right now at a time like this, I know can seem bitter-sweet. But they are yours. Some others may share them, but I'm guessing there were moments that just you and Kay Cee shared. Memories are precious and will keep her in your heart forever.

I wish you the best and feel for your pain.
I bet she'll be watching over you.
 
I'm sorry you didn't get to say goodbye to her in the way you might have preferred, Tim. But from what you've written, I can tell that you'll always cherish the good memories. R.I.P. Kay Cee.
 
Tim, there really are no words to take the pain from you during this time, as much as I wish I could. You've been there for me through thick and thin, and I hope that you know I'm here for you as well. I truly know how fresh and sharp this pain feels...take it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. My thoughts and prayers are with you, my good friend.
 
Gosh that is terrible. It's so nice to hear someone who gives their pet the best life, and it's so sad to that you lost her. Best wishes for you Tim, I hope the best for you through this difficult loss. Take care!!!
 
Thank you everyone. She was just such a great mare with such a free spirit that I have to admit I encouraged. All she ever knew was love & it showed because she gave it back too. She had a great spirit too. I remember at one barn we stayed at for all of 2 weeks lol. Kay Cee learned how to twist the bars in her stall & take them out every night. It started with just a few a night & then went to like 20 bars that had to be put back every morning. The barn owner didn't think it was funny & asked me to move her out. She was a yearling at the time lol.
Clever from the very start she was.
 
Man I am so sorry its hard to loose an animal friend...afterall they are the best ones, but you had an amazing relationship with her and those memories will never be lost.
 
I am so sorry, Tim. She sounds like she was a wonderful friend and companion, and I know you will miss her greatly.
RIP darling Kay Cee.
 
*hugs* I'm so sorry for your loss, Tim. RIP Kay Cee. If you ever need to talk, PM me. I know it's hard, but we're all here for you.
 
Thank you all again. I do not think I will sleep tonight much. I have been looking at her baby book & pictures of us at shows & out in the fields. I have many, many pictures of my girl.
I am here scratching Libby & thinking of how much Kay Cee loved her scratches. She would make the best faces when I hit the right spot. And I knew them all.
You know she was protective & jealous of any horses that would try to come near me when I would go out into the pasture. No one was allowed to come near me. Kay Cee was boss mare & I was hers only lol when it came to the other horses.
 
I'm so sorry you lost your equine soulmate. Finding a horse that matches your soul is like nothing else. Few horse people have that "one and only" horse in their lifetimes and non-horse people can't understand that bond. It's not the same as with other animals. Horses are a part of our history, our culture, our very blood. We are nothing without them. I'm happy you had her in your life and you were part of hers. Run free, Kay Cee, run free. :cry:
