Only a few days left now. There are a few things I would have liked to do one more time with him. I gave up on some of them a while ago, but I would like to go out to the forestry centre one more time to take some photos with the autumn leaves.
It might not happen. Brat came in with a painful swelling on a hind leg last week. I suspect he hit the fence in kicking out at the four year old nipping at him. At any rate it was sore enough that I haven't been riding, and have reduced the handwalking.
We are still going out for grass every day. It has become a half hour of peace, during which I can simply let go of the pending loss and just watch him graze. Everything is set. There are no more decisions to be made, no more tasks to be done. I can just sit in the moment during our time, and take some photos of everyday activities.
The grief comes later, after he's back in his paddock.
