Oh, David, there is so much in this piece, isn't there. Love, the pain of loss (family and friends), the human/nonhuman connection, endurance and transformation. Deep compassion rising for you and for the beautiful story you carry.
I know very little about horses, and I can't pretend to be a fan, but I hear they are amazing. They sound amazing, and when all is said and done it's the memories that count isn't it?
I had that same dream but never believed. I’m so sorry yours came to fruition only to get ripped apart. You worked so hard on your dream, too.
It’s hard to believe people can be so bad.
I’m so sorry. I hope writing this down helped you with the grief you’ll never get over. It’s a testament to you that you’re still a loving person and lucky Forrest to have known your love.
Thank you for telling us your story, it took my heart.
I am a mix of sad and angry. To part with such a beautiful horse who you seemed to have form a connection with, in such a way is cruel. I cannot even imagine how you must have felt then.
One can perceive that which is left out. I hope time has mellowed some of those emotions. Though I do think there will always be that part of longing that will remain no matter what.
Thank you for the kind words and yes, you are right. There's a lot in here.

Beautifully written David. How amazing that life can be so joyful, scary, inspiring and tragically sad all at the same time. ❤
That’s a very sad real life story. You lost a lot more than your marriage.
There are no x wives amongst the animals of our lives

I have always had a soft spot for animals. Tough story.
<3 I am so sorry for your loss. I am so happy for the beauty you gained in your heart and what you gave that horse. Love is never wasted.
Beautiful heartfelt story. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, I'm bad….as I read your wonderful story, I kept thinking—get rid of the women and keep the horses….
A tear jerker!
My my David. What a story.
Thank you my friend
Beautiful, inspiring, heartbreaking
