A very hard decision ahead

I really feel for you, as we all do.
I’m about to start Bute for my arthritic ex-racer as he has started to get very grumpy, which is unlike him.

You made a wise, selfless decision. Take peace with that. Far too many horses are left in pain for their owners benefit IMo

Big hugs.
 
Someone once said to me you know how much someone is loved by the size of the hole they leave behind in our hearts. It's the same with our horses.
Ruby sounds like an amazing girl and it sounds like she had a wonderful life with you. She was very lucky to have found you. You have given her the most wonderful gift of a peaceful end, in a home where she has been so happy and so loved. Take comfort from that and be kind to yourself.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs xxxxxx
 
glad that she went calmly and peacefully, you have done the right thing for her, it is normal to feel a bit stunned that it is actually over but in time you will feel a bit better. lots of hugs for you!!!!!!!
 
A brave decision to make, but the right one. Remember the good and laugh about the bad, she will be watching you and thanking you for making the decision when she wasn't able to. It does get easier over time, just give yourself some space to grieve and understand your feelings. Big hugs xx
