One of the things the boys missed about TJ was being able to ride! Penny suggested that I give Rhett a chance to have the boys ride him. He was such an ANGEL and took very very good care of them. They were very proud to be able to ride Rhett. They aren't doing too much riding this winter but when the daylight lasts longer, we'll be back to the barn during the week so that the boys can get their time in the saddle!
On October 3, 2008 we lost our sweet TJ. I dropped into the barn to ask Penny a question and we found TJ down out in the pasture. We took the boys into the arena but it was soon apparent that TJ was suffering from a very bad case of Colic. TJ was an old horse and he was in a lot of pain. When a tranqualizer shot from the vet made no difference in his condition at all it was decided that the most humane thing would be to send TJ to the rainbow bridge. He died in my arms...I miss him so...
Rhett & TJ had a very special relationship right from the first minute we put them together in a field. I swear I heard TJ say "took you long enough" when Rhett arrived. They got along from the instant they met, no pinning of the ears, no challenges, nothing. They sniffed each other and went to much at the round bale. They were best friends from day one and I know without a doubt that Rhett misses his dear friend very very much.
Rhett and TJ were inseperable, his presence is so missed by all of us.
Happy Days....

Rhett was trotting along the fence line watching the boys and I, I got some really cool pictures of him showing off that day!

TJ was a patient teacher when the boys wanted to learn how to ride...
It made them so proud to ride him
Daelin got to the point where he was riding by himself with no lead rope. TJ patiently took him around the paddock. The pride on Daelin's face was priceless...The boys miss TJ so much.
