Darby, 40,
01/01/01
Sue Laflamme

I think this last photo shows Darby's eye and the years of turning softly to gray....in the beginning her face was brown with a star, blaze and snip....Holly would kiss Darby's star. The little things on her neck in the photo are shavings because it was early in the day.

Darby came to Sue as a first horse for her daughter Holly and the first horse for the family. In her senior years, she had persevered through various senior ailments, but recently a new diet and medications had allowed her to frolic as a youngster, bucking, cantering, even coming in heat. Through Sue's posts, we all came to know and love Darby.

A Darby Thought Day
August 4, 1999
Sue LaFlamme

Each day I find myself practicing seeing you with my eyes closed, it comes naturally now

Unbidden thoughts of your beauty
Rich chocolate brown eyes that have seen so much,
undimmed by the thief stalker of sight.

Your time here counted in the grey haze of your face
soft sweet muzzle hewn with time in pale grey shadow.

Spirit horse of my world wander on through my life
and be mine forever more
in thought, in sight, in reality...stay.

Let me wander with you in morning mist
where age has no color or hue
just me, just you.
