That is a beautiful horse in the picture. You wrote a very nice entry for this contest for a story or even if not a competition. Hold on to that luck. Xo

Hi there! One suggestion for technical reasons, just use a few paragraphs to make this look better? Other than that, a wonderful story. I have horses and finding a really good farrier is hard. If I had all the money we've spent on horses over the last thirty six years we'd be wealthy. Seriously. But loving a horse is an addiction. One you can't detox from. I hope you get a horse someday if you want one. :) S.

Hi there,
This is a very well written little piece which I think should do pretty well in the competition. Good firm subject matter and storyline for such a small piece too.
All the best

This is an excellent short story and a good entry into the 200 word story contest. I'll take your word for the number of words :-) I enjoyed the read, even to the point of feeling sad that Siskin was no more but only a memory to be had in a horseshoe. I did feel better knowing this story was fiction. Well done on this most enjoyable read and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

This is a poignant story and one that clearly arouses the empathy of the reader. The description is cleverly written without overburdening the reader with superfluous facts and there is a space for the reader to imagine what happened. Thanks for sharing.
