**RIP Axle - my beautiful boy taken from us so suddenly, so young and my horse of a lifetime**

I recieved that dreaded phonecall this morning that one of my horses was down in the stable, possibly cast.

I just knew it when I arrived it was colic and really bad..........he was in so much pain and even with the best support from Pool House Vets I knew this was time to say goodbye.

I made a decision that it was time to make the pain go away - it was heartbreaking and with a less than 5% survival even if we could have got him to Liverpool I know it was the right one.

Nothing more to say other than I feel a hugh part of my life has gone and I feel so empty.

Thank you to the support from other liveries that assisted and again to the vet from Pool House.

I'm so sorry, awful way to start the hear, though there is never a good day for it.

My sympathies are with you, I lost my boy in a similar way a few days ago.

So sorry to hear your sad news, it's a small comfort to think you were there in his time of need - as difficult as it is try to focus on all the fantastic times you had together with your beautiful boy rather than the pain of today xx

Im so sorry to hear that, he was a truly beautiful boy. What dreadful timing, not that there is ever a good time.
Thoughts are with you, rip axle
