Such heartbreak after such a determined struggle to get him well, what a shame, but treasure the memories and always remember he had the best home possible with you.
I have truly appreciated all the kind words from you all. Today I brought all his rugs and tack home. I'm just being businesslike and trying not to dwell, not always successfully.
I'm fortunate to still have my old boy to love. Even though I vowed in recent months that these would be my last horses, now I'm down to one it makes me realise how much they mean to me.
