TEX
Your death feels like a lie. I used to say that we were going to ride towards the sunshine together but you preferred to leave without me. Why? How can I ever go inside the stable again, knowing that you are not there? I might sound like crazy but I don’t care. People can’t possibly understand the connection between a horse and a human unless they have one.
You were so unique, like a piece of art. You were so clever, so sensitive and so strong at the same time. You taught me a lot about animals and I never needed to teach you anything about me.
You understood everything and could sense everything, even your death.
Something had changed in your behaviour. You seemed unhappy and I called your vet. After some tests he said you had infectious encephalomyelitis a disease that hasn’t got a cure. I froze. I never thought that you would ever become so seriously I’ll. I started to sleep with you in the stable. I didn’t want to leave you alone.
The night before you died you lied down next to me and I instantly knew. You were going to leave. I hugged your head and I couldn’t hold my tears. During that night your heartbeat and your breath started to gradually weaken until they stopped forever.
You were 15 years old. Horses live up to 30 years. How did this happened to you? I will never find out. You were my companion, you were my brother. You were the only being I knew I could count on. I had never loved anyone like I loved you and I never will. My life is an empty space without you.
I love you my wonderful Tex. Run free in the blue skies.
