Subject: life throws ya curves

for all of you that don't know, i work at a cutting/reining horse ranch. so anyway i was on my way to work today and my boss calls and says to hurry up. so i get there and the vet is there. bad sign. phil the owner says that holly an older mare that i excercise had colic and the vet is going to put her down in a few minutes. but they wanted to wait for me so i could say goodbye. cause holly was really special to me. any way i sat down and held her head as they gave her the injection. then i went and fed the others, rode my usual 5 other horses, and worked with my 4 yearlings. when i was done phil came over and told me to come to his office for a few minutes. when i got there he said that he couldn't afford to pay everyone so he was down sizing the staff. 5 people were being let go. i was one of them. every time i think about it i wanna throw up. its horrible. not only did i lose my fav horse i lost my job. a wise old man once told me, that every cowboy and cowgirl has one special horse in their life. he was right. for me holly was that horse and now she is gone. now that i have no way to make any money my dreams of seeing keith are for sure gone. i was hoping to take a trip to nashville this summer. so much for that. life throws some hard curves sometimes. life hurts. please pray for me.
