RIP, Daquiri

Yesterday, I received the sad news that the fearless Daquiri has passed away. Refer to the November, 2005 archives of this journal to read my story about our encounter.

She was 36. She lived a long, happy life and was full of zest right until the end.

The Alpha Mare, The Protector, The Noble, The Beautiful, The Wise. Rest in Peace, dear Daq. I will never forget you!

Pictured above is my portrait of Daquiri. It was rendered with adrenaline still coursing in my veins...

My condolences to all who knew and loved this awesome mare.
