Tessas old faithful horse had to be put down this week. Streak was her first horse and has been retired on the hill by camp for a few years now. He loved sneaking in the kitchen for treats while Im cooking and was as sweet and friendly as they come (Ill copy an older post about Streak below). It was his time to go after a good long life. Our vet confirmed that it was best decision and quality of life always comes first. We will miss you Streak but glad you got to live out your last years with us. from a couple years ago Sweet old Streak is a retired racehorse from Kentucky. He was a stud horse there and likely bred many foals in the racing world. He came to us from a local when his daughter outgrew the horse and was ready for something faster. Streak is 27 now and as they say has more woah than go. He was Tessas first horse and was a safe old boy to let her learn to become a horsewoman. He didnt mind her crawling up learning to mount from a fence post or fumbling to get a halter on correctly. Now shes moved on to a little (or a lot she just wants to go fast!) more speed and Streak gets to spend his days on pasture under the oak trees with the other retired horses at Five Marys. But when Tess comes to find him for a little bareback saunter all she needs is a trusty rope and hes all hers.
