I'll lend you, for a while, a horse of mine," God said. "For you to love while she lives and mourn when she is dead. It may be six or seven years, or maybe twenty-three, But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you and if her stay be brief, You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, as all from Earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this horse to learn. I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true, from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love–-not think this labor vain, I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joy this horse shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shower her with tenderness and love while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for her much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."

"Little Bit is gone, lost while foaling.
It's a double loss! 2001 to 2009.
"Bunny" foaled June 2 at 7:30 am, a beautiful little dun with very primitive markings and no white markings. We did not have to imprint her, she came right up to us and loved all of the attention she received. She followed us wherever we'd go. Bunny was a treasure to behold. Bunny was more than a horse, she was a member of the family!
