Higher Authority - Gone

I'm sorry to say that Higher Authority was euthanized last night after a battle with some infection after surgery for a non-displaced condylar fracture. I'm glad I met her, and I'm not giving up on ownership (she was the first real horse I felt I owned), I'm just pretty bummed out right now. I would easily trade this for a horse on a farm who can't run a lick in competition. This is horse racing I know, but it sucks when it happens to you. I feel bad to the people really involved with HA, I'm sure they feel terrible plus I'm sure they feel responsible, they shouldn't. I know HA was in good hands from the groom to the ownership structure, I met them all, I don't have any less faith in them today than yesterday. She really was a sweet filly, her nickname was peanut around the barn. Today is a low, hopefully I'll get a high in the future.
