what a brave and wonderful owner you sound this has just brought me to tears reading. im sure he went knowing just how lucky he was to have had such a great mum who clearly loved him dearly and what a great age he was. My thoughts are with you. HUGE hugs coming from us. xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Rosehip]

Im so very sorry for your loss LL, he sounds a lovely chap, and very lucky to have had you in his life. Both mine waited for me too, and I'd like to hope the one's I have now will do when the time comes.
When I helped a friend with her elderlys horses time I took comfort from the fact that anything that happens after they have passed cant hurt them, no matter how horrible it looks. I helped the knackerman load my friends horse, and I helped the crematorium load my very old chappy, and its not nice, but neither of them knew a thing.

Hugs for you, tonight will feel very empty, but tomorrow will feel slightly better, and each day after that the hurt will ease. RIP Trigger xx

Gosh, that made me cry! How lovely he waited for you to be with him, knowing you loved him. He must have wanted you to be there in his last moments. Bless you, I'm so sorry, but what a wonderful life he had. Treasure your memories, he'll always be there with you whatever. RIP Trigger xxx

What a heartbreaking day. Take comfort that he did wait for you, you were there to help and comfort him and to ensure that his passing was as dignified and gentle as it could be.

RIP Trigger xx

Oh my word, I am in tears. What a privalege to own such a wonderful horse and how lucky he was to have you by his side. May you soon forget this day and remember only the great times.

I think he was lucky that you decided to go and get him in today. Much better than him going down sometime tonight or when noone was around. RIP.

I'm so very sorry Sweetheart . . . it sounds like he went pretty quickly and you were right there with him . . . and now he's forever young and free of stiffness and any kind of pain.

Your heart must be breaking - but it will get better with time - and what lovely memories you have of a truly great friend.

I know exactly how you feel. I went through the same thing last Monday. I too held my boys head & told him that I'd got him,& that I love him as he gently fell asleep in my arms. Big strong hugs to you.xxxxx

 

[Samgroves]

How sad but how wonderful he waited for his mum so you could both say goodbye to each other. Take care x

 

[Cupcakes and Horses]

I'm so sorry for you but at least it was quite quick and you were there which was obviously how he wanted it take comfort in. that when you can. Rip old friend

 

[MrsMozart]

Oh hunny. Hugs.

Rest in peace Trigger.

 

[pintoarabian]

Sincere condolences. He was obviously very much loved. I lost my 32 year old Welsh Sec A mare last Monday under almost identical circumstances. She had never had a day's illness in her life until that day but, despite the vets trying their best, it was her time and we lost her. Almost all of the things you wrote happened to me that day. I can certainly understand exactly how you must be feeling. I had owned my mare for 30 years and she made me smile every day because of her wonderful character. Like yours, she will be sadly missed.

 

[muddygreymare]

So sorry for your loss, massive hugs and sympathy OP. He sounds like a very special boy and you clearly had a great relationship. RIP Trigger, run free xxx

Run free Trigger

 

[Xander]

I'm sorry about the sad loss of your horse but happy you could be there with him.
It was obviously his time to go and he wouldn't have worried or suffered. As others have said he had a happy life with his mums, and you should be proud of yourselves for that.
