What did you do today?

[Nanno]

The last day of 2016 started out rough. My friend Jordan who I hiked with the other day called first thing this morning in serious distress. One of her horses had colicked during the night and was in a terrible way. I rushed down and arrived right after the vet. There was not much any of us could do though. The horse got some pain relief at the end, but she died within an hour of our arrival. Turned out she had a severe torsion of the bowel and there was nothing anyone could have done to save her. It wasn't an old mare--only six or seven years old, and she was always very healthy so it was very unexpected. I feel sorry for Jordan. It's hard to see any animal in so much pain, but always harder if it's yours.
