So sorry... take comfort in that he is free from pain now and you did the kindest and most selfless thing for him. Take care.

I am super sorry to hear this. But you did the kindest thing for him! There is a really good book I read which helped when I put my dog down.. its called many lives many masters. Its pretty good and I found it comforting.

I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful age to have reached. It is good you were there for him when he needed you.

I haven't been on for a while due to the forum not loading properly so I'm sorry, but its with a broken heart that I write this, this afternoon I had to make the decision of putting my 31 year old Arab cross (Legend) to sleep, he had suffered another bout of tying up and about 10 minutes after the vet had left he collapsed, me and my sister tried our hardest to get him back on his feet but he'd given up, I really don't know what to do with my self right now, but he went peacefully, although I can't come to terms with his passing, the worst part is my Shetland is now on his own.

Sorry if there is any spelling mistakes but I really can't function. I just wanted to get this out. thank you to anyone who listened.

So sorry. You got your boy to 31, what a life! You made the right decision but it still hurts. Worrying about your Shetland is understandable. You won't feel like considering it, but can you get a companion?

Hi, thank you, next year I will be looking for another horse for hacking, schooling and show jumping, that is what I use to do with Legend until he retired at 26, I've spent most of the day at the stables, just tidying up and giving my Shetland (Rupert) some company, I hope he can hang on as I need to give myself time to move on, I'm not in a state to do much at the moment, but I will be getting another as I cant live without a horse and Rupert needs a companion, thank you so much for your thoughts, I appreciate it.

I've managed to log in today for the first time in months! so just read your sad news. I'm so sorry & I know how you feel having lost my girl last October. It gets easier but it's a roller coaster ride of emotions 😢

I can't understand why but every time I've tried to get the forum up the page just goes white? Seems to be working at the moment though, I'm at the point where I just have a small cry throughout the day, last night was very hard when I stood in his stable doorway and thought "I cant hug you anymore" thank you so much for your thoughts.
