A few weeks ago I met a horse out at the stable I ride at and fell in love with him. He was so incredibly sweet and had a great personality. He was a former Police horse in NY, that's why he was named Copper. He was a dark bay with a white blaze and 4 white stockings, so very beautiful. I went out to ride today hoping to have my lesson on him. I had high hopes of getting to lease him this summer, but then I was told he had died a few days before. His intestines ruptured, there was no way to tell or prevent it. It all happened within an hour... I'm just shocked. I had gotten very attached to him, and I can't believe he's died... I'm sorry but I felt like I had to tell this all to someone
