Gogo died today.
Those of you who read Eventing A-Gogo know the story of Andrea and Gogo.
If you haven't read about her, Gogo was a lovely event horse who suffered a suspensory injury that, in spite of a long battle, did not heal. Recently it had started breaking down and Andrea had to make the decision to put Gogo down. These horses are not pets, it's a different kind of relationship.
They are friends and partners and teachers.
They are missed forever.

Heartbreaking. I can't imagine what Andrea is going through. This kind of loss truly breaks your heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss Gogo. Andrea's blog was the first horsey blog I ever followed.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know them, but I have been by the side of three animals I had to put down. It tears your heart, even if you know it was the best thing to do. My sympathies.
