continuing from my previous thread.............

sorry to say that friends 2 horses have been pts this afternoon.
went as well as it could in the circumstances...sedated and shot and they didnt know anything about it.

we have to cope with the shock and loss but naturally my friend is now distraught and shocked. please send healing warm vibes to her.

run free 2 horses...........god bless xxx
 
So sorry for your friend. It's such a hard thing to do, but always the right thing. I hope she can find peace soon. Been there myself, and I know how it feels. It's the last act of love we can do for our equine friends, and now her two are rnning free with all the other beloved horses that have gone before ( mine included). (((hugs))) for you and your friend x
 
Always feel sad to read PTs but in long run we know in our hearts it is the kindest thing to do. But that doesnt make it easier. Am really sorry for your friend and all you can do is remind her of why she had it done. The decision to do this kind of thing is never taken lightly and try to remember the good times. I have to sometimes remind myself of the image of seeing my horse on 3 legs and looking stiff and crippled and knowing that was it. That I had to do right by him. Book the vet. Even now 6 months on I am suprised at the impact the deed had on me. I am used to dealing with death. I still find hair in field etc, even his old poo, makes me feel sad. It is indeed an awful time and all you can do is be a good friend. But as we now realise with hindsight 99% dont know whats about to happen which is a blessing in disguise. Just dont be hard on yourselves.RIP x.
 
Sending good healing vibes to all involved. As said by previous posters - it is never an easy decision and horses leave such a big whole in our lives. They are all so individual and beautiful. Many struggle on with uncomfortable horses or passing on difficult horses to uncertain futures, because they cannot take the responsibility of the life of their horse.
Bless your friend she was brave enough to make that choice for whatever reason, the biggest being the love for her horses I am certain. <<<<hugs to all>>>>>> x
 
thank you all...she is indeed a very brave girl.

the horses were the love of her life....never been married or had a family.
her fiance died when he was 22 and no one since. she bred the big horse and he was her "baby".

So sorry, sending her hugs, she lucky to have your support.
 
thank you to you all for your kind words and thoughts and wishes...

i will do my best to look after her and have said that she is better than a "sister" to me. her own sisters are all ******* ( not nice ladies ) and have never spoken since their mum died.

God bless one and all and all horses x
 
Terrible time for you both. Thank goodness you can support each other through the coming months, and will truly understand what you are both going through. Please know that the Blue Cross offers excellent bereavement councelling as do many vet surgeries. It just might help...
 
I'm so sorry for the loss of both horses. They really do leave a massive hole. The only thing you can do is be there for each other at this difficult time. Xxx
 
thank you all for your support.....

my friend is a star...i'm poorly with bronchitis ...she has been today and taken my dogs for walks, fed my horse and sheep. and made me a sandwich and cups of tea. we have talked horses all day and she has gone home now. i can only try to imagine how hard it was for her to feed my horse and has even left a breakfast feed ready for him for the morning. we all need pals and i will help her as much as possible x
 
So sorry for your friend. I was with my best friend today as she had her boy PTS too and she is shell shocked, her whole family is...but they know they've done the best by him...your friend just needs to remember that as well. It is the ultimate act of selflessness to put their future wellbeing above our desire to keep them with us. X
 
_GG_..............

your words are so true...selflessness.

hope your friend and her family will be ok? pleased that she had you to help her at this difficult time xx
