I am missing Franny Girl today. She was a good horse, solid, honest and she took care of me over jumps and miles of trails. This is a photo of her in her last year. She was 34.

She looks well taken care of by a person who loved her.

Came here to say this. Only a well loved horse lives such a long life. π

She was loved. One lady came out usually once a week just to groom Franny.

She looks like the horse my granddaughter first rode when she was seven. My grand daughter looked like a horse fly on her back.

Percheron thoroughbred cross. Big strong girl.

Iβm sure you miss her. My grand daughter loves horses still, competes English style, and is going to school to be a veterinarian.

Our youngest daughter is a veterinarian- but for small animals. She still rides, loves eventing. Below is Charlie. Horses raise good people.

Yes, horses have been good for her.

Sorry for your loss. She looks very sweet and incredible for 34.

Sweet girl. π₯° I miss Trixie. I get it. Trixie and I encountered a Massasauga rattler on a trail one summer day, and she refused to take me on that trail after that. She was smart and sweet.

Wow! I remember a canter where Franny jumped a slim branch on the ground. She did not like snakes of any kind. Horses are smart.

I miss my life horse Gunner who I never rode. Hubby and I rescued old horses and because of bad owners, his tendons were shot but his spirit remained strong and he helped disabled kids at a special camp. We designed a special βtiny hineyβ saddle for his kiddos and it gave them all so much joy.

I'm so sorry! I took lessons in my 40's and I loved my lesson horse, EZ Spirit, so much! When he passed away, my teacher saved me a small clip from his tail. I still have it 20 years later-ill never part with it. That horse made me a better human.

They do make people better. Iβm glad you had Spirit.

Thatβs ok. She also answered to carrot.

She sounded like quite a girl. When I was a kid the farmer up the road had a Percheron mix. His name was Dick. Heβd lead Dick and give us kids rides. 5 kids ages 5-8 on his back. Never missed a beat. Always gentle. Was an awesome horse.

Franny and I often carried a young person behind us. It was funny but she flirted with men! Batting her eyes. It was hysterical.

Was a silly girl. Iβm 67 and I remember Dick and the farmer to this day. Neither have been forgotten.
