Leaguer

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm sorry to tell you that MHR lost one of its own today.

The loss of Leaguer has come as quite a shock. There were absolutely no signs whatsoever of any problems. All was well last night, and early this morning when I saw him down, I knew then we had a problem. We worked with him and worked with him, called the vet who at the time was working on yet another horse for colic. Dr. Adam gave him shots for pain and then proceeded with treatment, to no avail. Adam stated that Leaguer was not even a candidate for surgery as he stated he would more than likely not make it through.

I was with Leaguer until the end, FOB Diane was here, Big Joe (volunteer) was here and Rob was here. We did what we could for Leaguer. I spoke to him as I stroked his cheek and his soft velvety nose. He knew he was loved and he knew it was okay if he wanted to go.

Sheriff Susan, you have been a loyal supporter of CB and Leaguer and I feel your pain as I know you loved him. Thank you for being Leaguer and CB's sponsor. You were always there and always asked if there was anything special they needed. Thank you ever ever so much. Leaguer may not be with us in body any longer, but he will be forever in our hearts. His perfect diamond on his head, his talking and demanding treats, and his very favorite Watermelon Smoothies, he made the best smoothies! Again many thanks Susan, you were Leaguer's Angel on Earth.

Thank you to everyone once again

Stephanie
