Hubby took me out there. I felt really weird. Like all the ponies were staring at me strangely.
Gracie’s sister kept looking for Grace.
Just sad.
Thanks again everyone. It means a lot 🙂Horses grieve, just as we do. Expect some changes in behavior from her sister. When my mare Cricket died, my gelding Dancer went from being a sweet puppydog to aggressive and angry. He was particularly hostile towards me, like he blamed me for her loss. I found Cinnamon a few months later and as soon as she was off the trailer he was already behaving more normally. Being without Cricket had really affected him though.
I should have taken him to see her after she died, he never knew what happened, just knew I took her away and he never saw her. But I was in such emotional pain myself at her loss, I just never really thought about it. And my landlord kindly got out his backhoe and buried her where she was for us the very next morning, so I wouldn’t have to go through dealing with disposing of her shell. And I just couldn’t bear to go out and see her gone.
Anyway, I am so sorry this happened, I really am.

It brings up a good point though. You should NOT leave cats and dogs in their colors in the house. They can catch them on something and hang themselves too
I never thought of that, but then again, Kimi’s collar is really loose enough that she *could* get out of it if she could. It’s not breakaway though, and made of leather, so.. I don’t know.
She’s kind of an escaper and I don’t want her to get lost, she is microchipped but not all the shelters check for that (case in point, my hometown – if someone didn’t claim in 72 hours, euthanization, and I don’t think they checked microchips.)
Really late, but sorry for your loss, Phoenix, it’s tough losing any family member (animals are family too…).
