You are right, the aging happened all of the sudden. Enjoy him while he's doing well. Still missing my boy. http://underthegrowlight.blogspot.com Netherfieldmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260647159580710835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-72825265265811044432012-12-11T08:56:16.591-05:002012-12-11T08:56:16.591-05:00My OTTB is a spry young thing of 18, but he's ...My OTTB is a spry young thing of 18, but he's changed too--and I think it's the weather. Winter doesn't make us (or our critters) look or feel our best. Heavy hair, stiff joints--just not my favorite time of year. Tendency is to stand in the warm sun and out of the breeze and enjoy balmy moments when they happen. <br /><br />Make many memories with the carrots and the scritches and TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-75151038246120971652012-12-10T21:46:07.327-05:002012-12-10T21:46:07.327-05:00I noticed this my old guy,that just suddenly, he w...I noticed this my old guy,that just suddenly, he wasn't what he'd been.Kitty Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030621211779302151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-90203653848524868662012-12-10T19:21:59.215-05:002012-12-10T19:21:59.215-05:00Blessings to Harv for a life that lasts as long as...Blessings to Harv for a life that lasts as long as he is comfortable and pain-free - and to you for taking such great care of him. I have two seniors - Keil Bay is 23 but really at this point he still seems quite young to me. Salina is 29 and she is definitely slowing down and having some issues. With her I realize keenly that it could be any time now that either she goes or we have to make the billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-14419028604173183142012-12-10T15:48:20.633-05:002012-12-10T15:48:20.633-05:00I wanted to write something to you about Harv, but...I wanted to write something to you about Harv, but I just can't. I will tell you that I couldn't help the tears. I do not know if your post made me aware of the passage of time or if I just wish they could last forever.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-59666031515845790642012-12-10T11:14:13.147-05:002012-12-10T11:14:13.147-05:00I have a 32 year old horse that I have owned since...I have a 32 year old horse that I have owned since he was three (and my previous old horse lived to be 35). Both showed the same unsteady on the feet thing at about thirty. Sounds like Harv is doing really well overall and you are giving him the best possible life. My 32 year old loves attention and I try to give him as much love and hand grazing as I possibly can.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.com
