Thank you hazyxmas and queenbee, they are indeed lovely ideas; I have asked to ask the vet, it will hopefully help her to feel like she still has a 'piece' of the horse, I'm thinking maby a portrait/keepsake combined x
Thank you for that input, it's a helpful point of view, that's my mothers line of thinking, more things and people to keep her mind busy and offer support without being 'involved' and therefore blameable

Mother made the decision for her because she wasn't sorting it out herself. She made no effort to find another home for the horse hence mother was backed into a corner of literally not being able to afford to hold on to her for much longer and not having a clue about horse care, and then when...
I think she will come round to see that in time, or then again she may forever (wrongly IMO) hold it against my mother as the way she sees it, the horse was, on the surface, fine the last time she saw it (she is only home holidays) and this has all happened since really. That's the trouble I...
Hi, sorry this will be a bit of a long one but bare with me.
