I wish someone could tell me why horses and heartache so often go together...
Horses bring so much joy.
Losing them brings too much pain.
In my thirty plus years with horses I've dealt with a lot...
You'd think it'd get easier...
Somehow it seems the opposite.
On Saturday we lost a treasure~ "Balion."
Bali sure was a "classy" guy!
He taught us all so much.
xOxOThanks soooo MUCH for sharing him
with me and my family Ashley n Diane!!!!!!xOxO
He made us all smile and appreciate our time in the saddle.
EVERYONE who met him became his fan.
Bali had looks, brains and talent
(and more than a few endearing quirks)
wrapped up in one huge heart.He will be immensely missed.
"Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.
Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you,
Til we meet again."

Happy trails to you,
Til we meet again."
We love you Bali!

so sorry for your loss
He was loved, and obviously enjoyed his life. And there's nothing sad about that part. But it's clear why he'd leave a big hole in a lot of people's lives. Looks like one of those horses you're honored to have known.
So sorry...what a beautiful horse...Hugs!
Oh honey - I am so sorry. He looks like a good worker and a great guy. It so sad. Horses are so stinking loveable when they are good guys that when they have to go they leave such a hole in your heart.
I am deeply saddened to hear of your news. My heart just aches for all of you. The bond between rider and horse is like no other. I wish there were words to ease your pain. My prayers are with each of you. Wishing you strength in this difficult time.

Here you are leaving such kind words for my loss and this was just about the sweetest tribute. It brought tears to my eyes! It sure looks like he brought so much joy to everyone who met him.
My husband grew up with horses so I know the connection they have on humans. When he lost Scooter he was so sad. He still talks about him.
Take care and enjoy the memories! You sure have some beautiful pictures to look back on!
Bali was a wonderful horse. I know how much joy he brought to my sister, mother, and everyone else who has ever met him. He was truly amazing and brought so much love to our family. It is so hard to lose any animal. He will be deeply missed. I know the bond that my sister Ashleigh and mother Diane have with him will never be forgotten. We love you Bali!
