Gosh OP, I felt quite teary reading your post, I remember reading about him in other posts and he certainly was a character. What a shock for you, hope you’re ok. x
So sorry to hear this elf. Im not familiar with the horses you work with but reading your lovely tribute tells me the dedication and care the animals you work with get to enjoy.....he was lucky to ‘accidentally‘ become your mount and i hope the great memories you enjoyed with him sustain and help surpass your grief....big hug X
Saw the news on FB and wondered if it was the horse you had mentioned in your stories. So sorry to hear about it. Sods law he did it away from the track after all his mishaps and adventures. This story goes to show how loved these racehorses are. Thoughts are with you, the owners and everyone else that loved him.
So sorry Elf, you will never have one the same as Boris, that is what makes them unique. His antics kept us all entertained and I can see that you really loved him. Treasure the memories. Be kind to yourself.
