Tragedy strikes Double E Stables

You know, it's amazing to me how fragile a one-thousand pound animal can be.  You'd think that being that huge and strong they would be invincible.  Go figure...

This morning when Michelle went out to feed the horses on her way to work she found Sugar had collic'd again last night.  This one was far worse that the bout we had three weeks ago.  Sugar was in a great deal of pain and had been thrashing about all night long.  She gave her banamine and called Dr. Browning of Apex Vet out for help.  Dr. Kim advised us to take her in.  It was not looking good.  I think we all kinda new that this was not good.

Well, to make a long story short Sugar did not make it.  She was put to sleep this afternoon at 2:00p at Apex.  For Michelle it's like losing a team-mate and best friend, for the other horses it's like losing a sister and for the the rest of us it's like losing a daughter.  We'll forever miss and never forget her heart, her stamina, her undying spirit.  We love you Sugar!

We at EE Stables really hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. We held our annual pony rides at the same location as last year, off Hwy 50, and it was great. The weather was wonderful (remember last year when it was cold and raining?) and the visitors were really great. We have a lot of new students starting this year and we are so excited to have them and the rest of our great students out there at the barn. We've also got some new instructors out at the barn, some of them are even past students of ours! Read on to learn more about them and the other great things we've been up to!

It's been a while since an update, but I had to let you all know that we are doing great. Mule Days was just last weekend. We camped out from Thursday through Sunday afternoon and it was really fun. From the mud sling to rodeo we had the best time. Read on for all the funny stories!
