"Sadly today we said goodbye to Trapper (aka Mr Whiley/Mr Cadbury) after an issue with the leg he injured before. He went in the sunshine, high as a kite on pain relief after eating the grass as happy as he could be. Instead of thinking about that sad part, here are a few things I want to say thank you to him for and did say as we sat with him afterwards.
1. Thank you for your sense of humour. Nobody was safe walking past your stable when youd finished your feed and wanted to some target practise with your bucket.
2. Thank you for introducing my amazing mum to a whole new circle of brilliant friends at the yard (you know who you are).
3. Thank you for opening your mouth for the bit instead of sticking your head up in the air like a tit!
4. Thank you for looking after my mum whenever she rode you and showing her what fun it is to see the world from the back of a horse.
5. Thank you for being so cheap to feed, since your big sister Chilli likes to drain my bank account on the monthly!
6. Thank you for being so good to clip and standing there for hours that one day in December when I was hungover and thought I was going to be sick into your freshly hogged mane...
7. Thank you for always trying your best. You might not have been the worlds best show jumper or the fastest in a race but you never said no.
8. Thank you for helping me teach my first ever private lesson when you were in the school. I was so nervous but your impeccable behaviour made it a lot easier.
9. Thank you for proving me with an intense upper body workout every time I mucked your ****** stable out!
10. Lastly, thank you for being so good to do and for being the best Christmas present dad and I could ever have bought mum.
We wouldnt change having had you for the world. Love you Mr Tappy Trapson 💕"
I feel exhausted and empty having had to be the strong one out of myself and mum. When he was gone I just plonked myself and my broken leg down next to him in the grass and held his head close to mine. As they go it was really peaceful, no struggle or resisting on his part. He was the best Christmas present I ever could have bought my mum and it breaks my heart that they've been torn apart right when they were starting to really become close.
I just wanted to share the post here too.
