I just wanted to come back and say thank you again to everyone offering their condolences--I still can't believe how many genuinely nice people are on this forum. Betty (our mare) is doing really well. She's a very sweet little mare that clearly puts a lot of trust in her people. Every time I see her I thank God that we saved her. I realize that this situation could have been worse, and it's a very sobering thought. It's hard to shut out the "what ifs" but I'm getting there. I know many other forum members have had losses this year, and my heart goes out to all of you. Let's hope the rest of the season is full of blessings.
