when the sun shines
we'll shine together

told you i'd be here forever
said i'd always be your friend
took an oath
i'm gona stick it out till the end
===

About a month before my pony passed away the yard in which I kept her at at the time decided that they would wean her from her best friend [a hunter gelding]. They were inseperable; thus if my girl didn't survive the winter, Merlin would be left behind to cope alone. At first this was done without my knowledge, when I went up their every morning and night they were together, but during the day they would keep them apart for as long as they could stand their whinnies across the field/yard to eachother. He was the only gelding that would go out with a whole field of mares; he would graze with her, lie down next to her, groom her, follow her everywhere and even protect her as to a story that is far to long to tell now. This whole separation business went on for about two weeks before someone told me what was going on; I moved both of them in the end, 'cause if you have never tried moving a horse who is completely devoted to another, then you'll have your work cut out for you.
A couple of weeks after she was settled into her new home, my girl decided it was her time to go. They took him away when the vet came and before I knew it she was gone. The thing is; that aparently you can't live without your best friend on earth, because Merlin passed away not two days after her. It would be stupid to say that a horse died of a broken heart, but maybe friendship extends beyond life expectancy through all species.

This is dedicated to their extraordinary friendship. B; I miss you terribly.

:iconrevan-dax:
Absoutly stunning piece. I'm so sorry to hear about that, it seems that true friendship goes beyond the natural and scientific. I hope you're alright, I'm here if you need a virtual shoulder to cry on. :heart:

gorgeous Rikku, honestly, that has to be the saddest and most touching thing I've read in a long while. It honestly did almost make me cry, I teared up, because it made me think of my own friends, and wondering how I would feel if one of them died.

I think it's the sweetest thing, yet also the saddest that they both died, but as long as they are both meeting eachother again, where they can be together forever. =)

The piece is absolutely amazing by the way, completely gorgeous. Lovely use of colors, and I'm amazed at how you didn't really smudge manes + tails all that much, if at all, I don't have my glasses on xD Anyway, this does have to be one of my favorites. Maybe for the fact of the story and emotion behind it, but either way, it's a stunning work of art. :hug:

I love this. It's ironic. Recently my best friend was taken away from me without warning, for one reason or another and we didnt even get to say goodbye. The only way we can talk is via snail mail and I'm llost without her, but this picture helps a lot. It's beautifull

Real eyes, realize, real lies

That is so sad, yet so beautiful. At least the two weren't sepparated for long.

Gorgeous image, I love the emotion.

Just be yourself, if you have to change to make people love you, then they don't love YOU they love the person they want you to be.
:iconthe-renegade:
This is really special, Rikku.
I haven't seen anything with emotion like this in a long time.
:iconsporadical-thoughts:
Wow, Rikku, this is absolutely amazing.
Reading your notes under it literally gave me goosebumps. So many people think horses live without emotions, but this shows how strong a friendship between two animals can be.

The emotions in this picture are absolutely breathtaking.
Awesome job! Definately an alltime favorite

Oh, I'm so sorry. :sniff: This is so beautiful and fitting. :heart:
