Dixie just didn't come up to feed in the morning on Tuesday, February 3, and Ashley found her lying down in the pasture in a coma. The vet rushed there and gave her 3 IVs in the field. She never would try to stand even with all the meds they tried.
She was such a kind and gentle soul and it all happened so fast. She was eating her treats yesterday afternoon and now she is gone. She went to a horse show 3 days before as well. She was not in pain though she just was tired and laid down like it was her time to go. She will be missed and the barn will not be the same without her. Dixie was a great teacher.
We've had these last months of her life to care for her and be with her and she was such a good girl. Rest in peace sweet little Dixie, aka "Dixie Moon," aka "Mary Had a Woolly Lamb." We believe she was about 30 years old.
Please feel free to share your thoughts and memories with us.
Thank you, Dixie! We loved you! --from Claire, Greg and Stacey
