Many times I have visited this forum and read of peoples losses and my heart ached for each and every one of them. But never in a thousand years did I think that I would be one to suffer such a loss so soon.
It is with deep sorrow and pain that instead of annoyingly putting my girl’s pictures up I am here instead to close out this thread with her death.
Spex was my first Thoroughbred. Not someone else’s that I had to work with but mine, one that took close to two years of searching for. This horse had to be just right. And even though I shunned fillies there was instant gravitation the moment I stumbled across her sale picture.
Though Spex and I shared many miles on the trails since last year I sent her to a wonderful farm about an hour away for gate training and galloping. We were supposed to debut together my beautiful stubborn equine and I, this May at Colonial. So many dreams dreamt in such a short span of time. She shared her fire of her spirit in engaging me to join into the fray of training. She was the “it” horse. One I never saw coming and one I never dreamed would be gone so soon.
I just posted video the last time I was able to be with her this weekend at the farm. Please visit if you like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZRLVzAqtAo
You will see her fire, and her stubbornness. Spex was having issues with the turn while galloping, attempting to duck out or in on rider. He is an excellent horseman who just happened to get one upped Monday. She dumped him and ran down the track before trying to jump the outer rail. She did not make that jump. The post caught her abdomen causing too much damage for a vet to do anything but release her from her pain.

Our beloved filly, taken before her time, was called home to be in God’s Stables. May she rest in peace in lush green pastures, to run and play on the wings of Angels. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of those whose lives she touched.

Oh my, what a tragedy. I sincerely lament your unfortunate event. Our animals are unique to every one of us. Very sorry for the loss. May the good Lord, Creator of all life, may be with you and your family and may provide new living creatures that may bring renewed hope. We all will remember Saluki's Gold Rush.
