: Hi Kathy,
:
: I was just searching the web
: looking at Bask Arabian horses just to
: see how absolulty breathtaking they
: are! My horse Akhubahn just passed
: away the day before Thanksgiving of
: 2004. He was the love of my life and
: my sole mate. I have to say that
: telling the vet to put him to sleep
: was the hardest thing that I have ever
: had to do. I had him for 18 years.
: My aunt got him for me one Christmas.
: She went to look at him for herself
: and as soon as she laid eyes on him
: she thought of me I wad 8 years old
: and he was 4. She is the one who would
: always tell me that we where kindred
: spirits because every time that I
: would get hurt or sick he would get
: hurt or sick the next day and in the
: same way. I had to put him down
: because he had laminitis. He was
: laying down so much that he ended up
: getting ammonia and his lungs filled
: up with blood making it hard for him
: to breathe. Three days before we put
: him to sleep I brought my boyfriend
: over to see him, "unfortunately
: for the first time" my boyfriend
: always thought it was strange the way
: that I would always talk about my
: horse, until the that night. Akhubahn
: was so sick and week and could barley
: hold up his head. I was standing in
: front of him brushing his face when I
: started to cry. Akhubahn lifted up
: his head as week as he was and gave me
: a kiss. My boyfriends jaw dropped in
: disbelief. Now every time that I talk
: about my horse and people think that I
: am strange because of how close we
: where he always tells them, I have
: never seen that kind of bond between
: animal and human he really loved her
: more than anything in this world. My
: email is mainly to ask you if you new
: of a way that I would be able to have
: a tribute done in memory of him. If
: you are interested please call me or
: email me 904-477-8261.

: Thank you,
