Hey Guys, i know its been long. my video maker is screwed up. Anyways here's the Sox update. Get a box of tissues...
I'm sorry i can't get back to all of your comments! But know i appreciate each and EVERYONE of your comments. I read all of them and show them to my mom who as well appreciates them greatly. Sox loves you all!

Quick about this video:
(TURN UP the volume for the beggingI didn't do any effects really, i wanted to let the clips speak for them selves as well as the audio. And i will probably edit this description later as i am not satisfied with it... but it is 2 am my time... well here ya go!

This is going to be long, so please stay with me. Sox has had something going on in his feet for the past couple months. Basically it looks like he has two feet growing in different directions. My farrier thought it was the weather going from so freaking hot to really wet (we got a lot of rain a while back ago) and then back to heat again. A few weeks ago when our farrier came out it was getting much better and his feet looked normal again. Well as of yesterday, the farrier came back out and gave us bad news. Sox's hoof problem was back, but only worse than how it was. My mom called Brock (our lameness vet in Lamessa who has helped us with sox since day 1) and he said that that is the navicular deteroriating his hooves and he needed to be brought in after christmas. For the people who are just tuning in, I'm not a terrible owner. The reason we have been putting off Sox's euthanization is not because of my selfish reasons. But merely because He is so happy. However, this past week that is not the case. Soxy no longer wants to be with us, and shy's away from a loving hand. He doesn't want to eat and has become so bitter and angry. It is incredibly hard to see (as you could see in the video) his loving character slowly fade away. None of the medicines are working.. not even 2 grams of bute here an there. His 30 pills of isoxoprine plus his advil (not as strong and bad for his intestines as bute) is not working. And for the most part he can't lie down anymore... My vet sent us a brochure on Euthansia and oh my gosh did i ball my eyes out when i read it. I guess the reality of it happening has hit. I can no longer remeber what our last ride felt like, what his trot felt like, what his canter felt like. They are all memories that are fading away. His time here on earth is fixing to come to an end. Sometime in January he will be put out of his misery, where he can go run and jump as many xc fences as he so pleases in heaven with OUR God, painfree. I want nothing more than Sox to be pain free and happy.

This whole process has been difficult, as you know I've looked to God throughout this whole situation. However i also have been waiting for some miracle to happen. For God to allow his navicular all of asudden go away and God show me that he is truly is there answering prayer. However lately i have noticed that the miracle is not in Sox getting fixed, the miracle is what Sox has done to all of us. I can't tell all of you guys how much Sox has blessed peoples lives, and i can truly see God working through an animal to bring people closer to him. To inspire people, through youtube, to know our God is so powerful. I've recieved so many personal messages about people wanting to come to Christ, all because of my little horse. I dont know maybe you all can't see it as much as i can?? God gave Sox a specific purpose on this earth, to inspire people to come to him. Sox has done that and more and it's simply his time to go frolic in Heaven. His story has left a legacy and i'm just the writer telling his words for him. There's a girl, Anna, who comes out once or twice a week and loves on Sox. And i think she is a big reason why Sox has been hanging on for so long, and he has blessed Anna's life tremendously. I can't thank you all enough for the love and support you have shown to me. And i'm sorry if this video and crappy description does not influence you or show you what i'm trying to accomplish. Thanks to all my almost 3,000 subbers. You guys are awesome. I hope God gives you all a blessed Christmas, and remeber the true meaning behind Christmas.

much love,
Olivia

I have a challenge for all of you, just say one single prayer thanking him for the opportunities you get, and the amazing horses you get to own.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," Declares the LORD, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

Psalm 46:1-2
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea

if you read all of this... lemme know ill give you a cookie ;)
