My friend of 15 years is dieing. I am sitting with him. The vet is coming.

I'm crushed. I learned to ride on him. He taught me so much. He has been a more loyal friend than some humans.

Godspeed Karma. I will see you on the other side.

Very sorry Artie, Been through the loss of family pets a lot in the past few years. It is rough. You have my sympathy. It is really, really hard.

Good thoughts and prayers to you and your beloved horse ArtieS. Those of us who have been lucky enough to have been loved and owned by an amazing animal can relate to your feelings.

I feel for you, Artie. There's nothing I can say other than how fortunate both you and Karma have been to have each other for those 15 years.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Hard to say goodbye to a friend of 15 years. Some animals are better to be around than humans. Godspeed to your friend. Remember the good times.

I’m so sorry Artie.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I'm very sorry to hear this.

The two we've lost have been up there with the hardest times I've ever experienced.

I’m so sorry. Was it at all related to the recent weather events?

No, he was old with spine and kidney problems and his race is run.

Thank you everyone.
