Tears in Heaven

My favourite horse is being put to sleep. I feel sick. She is just 3 years old, extremely high-spirited, beautiful, pig-headed and shy. She is the first horse I ever fed sugar to. I've seen her winning thrice, all the three times when nobody expected her to. In fact the first time she won, she started off by running in the opposite direction. She was supposed to run her first race of the season tomorrow and yesterday while practising, broke her back.
