To say that Bob is devastated, would be the understatement of the century! He is beside himself with worry over his little mare. He has known for a while that something was wrong and made a number of attempts to fix the problem but, so far, nothing has worked. There are a number of people on this forum who, judging by the cruel and heartless posts made here a couple of days ago, seem to think that Bob is stupid, ignorant, and uneducated in the care of horses. Trust me; he is NONE of those things. Unless you have met Bob in person, there is no way you can see or understand the love he has for his horses. He would move heaven and earth for them if he had to, and he's obviously capable of putting their needs before his, or he wouldn't have sent Aurora to Lori's. He misses her so much, and you can just hear the pain and sadness in his voice.
Some of the comments that were made here on the forum the other day hurt him very deeply. Yes, he's laying low because he's angry and upset. Who wouldn't be?? Wasn't it enough that the first couple of posts came out with both barrels blazing?? Did the others have to add fuel to their fire?? Do you think Bob is THAT stupid that he has to hear the same thing said 30 different ways?? He was very appreciative of Mary Lou closing that thread.
For heaven's sake, people! There are a few of you who really need to BACK OFF when it comes to criticizing and passing judgement on people in the name of "helping". As I pointed out to one of the worst offenders yesterday, a little compassion and understanding for our fellow HUMANS go a long way. There's not a person among us who didn't have the mare's best interests at heart, but don't forget Bob has a HEART (as big and loving as all outdoors!) and FEELINGS! To attack him that way was just cruel.
As the news about Aurora starts to unfold, please keep your comments gentle and encouraging. If you can't say something nice, then just shut up. Even though there are some of you who are sure they know everything better, we all must trust that the mare will be getting the best of care and, God willing, will recover fully and give Bob a beautiful, healthy baby.
