A Horse Gone.

In the interest of completeness, it is only fair to let our readers know that the white foal had to be put down last week. It had become clear that he was completely or nearly blind, as a birth defect, and after consultation with vets and eye doctors that a successful treatment could not be assured, and in any case would be very expensive.
Of course everyone involved was very saddened, tempered by the realization that some animals on any ranching operation of size are likely to be lost in any give year. In fact, several cows and calves on the ranch did not survive the winter.
