Lola’s Fight

by Sheryl R. Helms on May 29, 2008 · 2 comments

Lights of London “Lola” was born three weeks premature on May 11, 2008 to my mare, Emma.  She was a beautiful little Cleavland Bay/Thoroughbred cross.  She fought for 8 long days in the ICU in Corvallis.  My friend Krista, her owner, made the very difficult decision to euthanize her to ease her painful struggle.  This is a very sad time for her.  I know all who read this will remember her in your prayers.   This picture was taken just hours before she died.  Emma stuck with her the whole time and wouldn’t leave her half-stall the entire 8 days.  This was Emma’s first baby.

Emma’s my only one. I board her outside of town. She’s doing good after her foaling. Thanks for your prayers.
