Who remembers Spike the Spensive?

[Auslander]

A facebook memory popped up today, about Spike and our epic colic battle. Three years ago now, and I still remember two things - how unbelievably knackered I was, after 7 days of hourly checks, and how brilliant everyone on this forum was - keeping me sane, thinking positive thoughts for Spike, and, one member in particular, who drove her box from deepest darkest Hampshire to do horse ambulance duty - and refused to take a penny for fuel/her time.

The old man made a complete recovery, and is living the life of Riley with a friend of mine these days. He's very much loved, and he behaves FAR better for her than he ever did for me.

Lovely update, so pleased that he's doing so well. He was always a special HHO favourite of mine.

Is it really 3 years since the colic episode? Goodness.

Funnily enough I was only thinking about Spike a couple of days ago and was going to ask you how he was doing. Lovely to hear he's well and happy.

Loved hearing about Spike's antics. So glad he's enjoying life after his scare.

Three years? Yikes

Glad to hear he is happy and well

I miss having him around - he was a very good spare horse, and awfully sweet. However, it was in his best interests to go and be someone's No1 horse, and he's having a very lovely life.
