I’m heartbroken. The arthritis was getting worse and his hind locked at the end of last week. I just knew it was time. I couldn’t put him through a freezing winter of mud knowing he was struggling. I stood with him this morning and he went very quickly.
With his best friend.
He couldn't have had a better owner (or sharer, I know she will be upset too). I hope it's of some comfort that you did the kindest possible thing for him.

I'm so sorry to see this, ct, but it's a responsible owenr who recognises when it's the right time and acts in the horses best interests. Look after yourself!
