wow, where to even begin. First off this video i made a year ago, i couldn't make a video, i'm just not ready to yet but within the next few weeks expect a great video to come.
Today (2/18/11) will be a day that i remeber for the rest of my life. It has been an extremely emotional and tough day. I have felt things i never thought i could experince, i have seen things i never want to have to see again. The decision to end a horses life is a terrible thing to have to deal with, especially at 17. But i am in a world where life and death happens everyday. Sox has been eternally loving, and giving. He has taught many important things to my family and I. One of which is to "count all things joy", He never was a complainer, which is why putting him down was the hardest thing to do. Because he just came across as so darn happy. Yesterday we took him to Dr. Brock in Lamessa, Texas. He xrayed him, and we knew it was not good. He has literally nothing left of his navicular bone, and he is to the point where the bones around start giving off this liquid which is supposedly very painful to go through. Dr. Brock was so shocked at how this horse was still even walking let alone standing. So we knew we had to put him down, and the next decision was if we were bringing him home and putting him down at our house, or leaving him at the vet clinic. Becuase we have been working with the insurance company since day one, so they weren't needing us to cut open his legs and send them the bones (which in some cases they need.) My mom and i both were leaning towards leaving him there (orginally i did not want to do this) but having him put down at our house was a concern for my stepdad. Well my mom was on the phone with my stepdad and left the clinic to go talk outside, my sister and her horse happy also left the building so Sox and I were the only ones left in the building. And Sox just started neighing frantically looking for my mom, and at the point i think we both realized we couldn't leave him at the clinic. So arrangements were made with this guy who did dug a hole and helped with the burying. So today ((this morning at about 10 am)) I led sox out to his pasture... where i had to leave him (my parents wouldn't let me be there because they didn't want my last memory of him to be... dead) So i went into the tackroom with my sister where we waited and waited. And after about 5 minutes my phone starts making the bell ringtone (if you have an iphone you know that bell tone? that was playing) and for no random reason, no text, no phone call, no alarm. And we realized Sox got his wings.. everytime a bell rings an angel gets his wings. And after that we heard the tractor turn on which ment he was being put in his grave. We have these baseball fields across the back pasture that sox would stand on his "moutain" (the bank) and would watch the baseball games, so he was buried facing those, and our bank has been moved ontop of him. My mom says that he was taken care of and the people were so gentle moving him into the grave which i am so thankful for. And once everyone had left and we let out our other 2 horses, Marcus (who loved Sox) was running around neighing and looking for him... which was so sad to see. So there's his final chapter to this story, which has now come to an end. But he remains forever in our hearts. God has been so good today, showing little signs of him being here for him... I believe that Sox is up there, and that God puts animals up in heaven if that's whats going to make you happy. I do believe that God has put Sox up there, and he's just waiting for me to come back. The sunset tonight was absolutely gorgeous, it was just a sun with no clouds, and it gave off this radiant orange color. I knew that was a sign from God and Sox saying hello. I can't thank our Lord enough for putting this amazing horse into my life. If it wasn't for this long journey with him, i would have never gotten the opportunity to own Marcus. He has changed and inspired many people and to think he was in my hands. Maybe someday his story will be made into a movie, or a book, but untill then his story is here on youtube. I am positive that when Sox got up to the gates of heaven, God told him "Well Done My good and faithful servant,"
This isn't a goodbye, but a see you later Sox man, Say hi to God for me. I will always love you
This is a note from my mom she put on FB: I've "put down" pets before but this one is especially tough! he's SO big. he's big in size obviously but he's big in our hearts. partly because of his personality but mostly because of the enormous responsibility he had working for and protecting his rider -- my precious daughter. for that I will always be grateful and indebted. he carried her safely over obstacles -- all the while hurting but never once seemingly complaining or jeopardizing his rider and best friend! RIP
Thanks to all my 2,500 subscribers, and for being here to support us during these time.

Please pause and read. ( i hope the quality gets better... youtube killed it when i uploaded it)
Update: I am reading every comment, message, and comments on my wall i promise! I am trying to at least give a thank you to everybody. Just hard to find time! THANK you to everybody
I made this video after watching this movie when i couldn't sleep last night, and got motivated to make a video after hearing this part of the audio. Take it from the perspective of Marcus saying this to me, because i feel like this is exactly what he is telling me. I didn't want to edit the clips to much because they take away the beauty of them.
I have been having a very hard time this past week dealing with the loss of my amazing partner. The first 2 weeks i was more shocked than sad, and now the grieving has really started. I miss this horse so much, and thought that loosing Sox was terrible, but didn't know that i could possibly hurt this badly. Im not going to sit here and lie to you that i have been strong, i was strong during the three weeks marcus was battling for his life, but now am so weak and broken from loosing him. I know God has a plan for me, and this is all happening for a reason, i'm just ready for that reason to appear to help me through this grieving process. But i know one of those reasons was bringing me and my good friend Dianna (youtube :superdi003) back together. I can't thank you all enough for the support, bible verses, and sweet things you have messaged me, left a comment on a video, and a comment on my profile. I promise i read every single one just dont have time to respond to all of them. I'm sorry if this video isn't meaningful to you, but this video means a heck of a lot to me. I want to challenge all of you to take a step back and realize how thankful you are to have your horse, whether it is your own or someone else's. Because i never thought this would happen to Marcus, and i wish i could go back and appreciate every day, hour, and minute i had with him.
Love you Marcus Maker Man, know that i will always love you.

LYRICS BELOW!!
I do not own this song :)
http://twitter.co...
It doesn't make the rain fall down
It doesn't make the world go 'round
It doesn't make the loudest sound
It doesn't mean I'm sorrow bound
It doesn't make the wrong things right
It doesn't keep you warm at night
It doesn't help you learn how to fight
It doesn't show the dark from the light
It doesn't take a sign to see
The best things never come for free
And even if it's made to bleed
You know that you can count on me
It doesn't make your plans fall through
It doesn't make your dreams come true
It doesn't make your old ways new
It only means I love you
It doesn't make the river flow
It doesn't make your flowers grow
It doesn't make you feel alone
It doesn't tell you where to go
And it doesn't make a blind man see
It doesn't make a lost man free
It doesn't fix your broken wings
It means that you were made for me...
