He was as solid a trail horse as l’ve ever ridden. I stopped riding Roany when he turned 33 because I thought my old friend deserved a lengthy retirement, though he stayed strong until a few months before his death.
His decline started with a bout of lameness in April and a longer one in May. By late June, he was limping more often than before. When Doc Howard came for a ranch call, he said,“There’s a number associated with this lameness, Pam, and it’s 39.”
I did the things there are to do: supplements, an ice boot , various anti-inflammatories（消炎药）and pain-killers. We’ d had very little snow and no spring rain, and for the first time in my tenure（保有期） the pasture（牧场） stayed dormant（休眠的）all summer, the ground extra hard on sore hooves.
Roany loved nothing more than the return of the spring grass, and it seemed radically unfair that in what was looking to be his last year, there wouldn’t be any. I watered a thin strip of ground between the fenced area and the chicken cage daily and called it Roany’s golf course .
He had some good days there, but mostly he hung around the fenced area. That summer, between my fiance, Mike, my farm helpers, Kyle and Emma, and me, Roany hardly had a moment’s peace. We iced his legs and cleaned him twice daily, mixed seed oil into his grain to help keep weight on him, and hugged him constantly.
He seemed puzzled by all the attention. Every time we set the water in front of him, he took a giant drink, and I suspect it was more for our sake than his. One day, Kyle, not knowing I was out there, set a bucket down next to Roany not three minutes after he had drunk three-fourths of a fresh bucket for me. Roany looked at Kyle for a minute, glanced over at me, and then lowered his head to drink again.

Roany bore his long illness in silence. As his condition worsened, he learned to depend on his good front leg, and he would sneak into the barn to get at the winter’s store of dry grass for food. He blew bubbles in his water bucket because it made me laugh, and he would sometimes even give himself a bird bath by splashing his head.
I knew the good point was that he could handle the discomfort. But there was also the bad point: this didn’t mean he could survive another winter. The next day I saw a slight downturn in Roany’s condition. He ate his food, drank his water , and stood for his treatments , but there was something a little lost in his kind eyes. Perhaps there was no chance that I was going to ask him to make another winter, but as long as he was walking with difficulty to his golf course, it seemed too early to end his life.
