We are all in this together

It has been a tough time for everyone. But tough times eventually end. Tough times are easier when we help each other.  This photo was taken many years ago when I was working at a large farm. I arrived early to work to find that a mare with a young foal that had recently arrived to be bred had died overnight. Her foal was understandably confused and hungry. I had been up most of the night at another facility foaling a mare. This foal needed some comfort. I tried to convey a sense of safety, comfort and calm. The owners were on their way to pick up the foal and had a nurse mare at the ready. But for the moment, it seemed like the end of the world. But it passed. Things got better.  There is a change in the air, things are opening up and there is more hope. There is a lot of anger and frustration as well, but we really need to hold on to the hope. We will get through this. We ARE getting through this.
