Hi to you all,

As promised an update. Sorry it has taken so long, but I have been with my boy most of the time and his care has taken priority. Llwyncwn,Brighteyes,Box_of_Frogs and Cluedo thanks for your pm's.

My boy very sadly didn't make it, although the vet did say that he managed to prove everyone wrong for a very long time. He'd had the problem since November 2007 that we are aware of - so he proved himself to be the fighter I always knew he was.
It has left me totally devastated to have lost him after 15 fantastic years.
To my fantastic boy I can only say again - Thankyou for all the fun and the sad times I wouldn't have missed any of them for the world. We were together from the start when you came home and together at the end when we said our last goodbyes.
Have fun in that paddock eating as much grass as you like (something you couldn't do for a few weeks).

Too you all cherish every moment, good or bad.

For FRED 1988 - 2008. I love you always.
 
So sorry to hear your sad news - you obviously did everything you could for him. RIP Fred.

Oh no Ferdie! I was so hoping Fred was gonna prove the statistics wrong. I'm so glad you and he had all that wonderful time together and I hope those memories carry you through the dark times ahead. Thinking of you. I hope Llwyncwn will post the so-comforting poem about God lending us his favourite foal. Oh, tears writing this coz I've been there too. Stay strong xxx
 
Oh hunni, I am so very sorry to hear this and your wonderful tribute to Fred has had me sobbing. You have 15 wonderful years of memories to look back on and you were together at the end.

As BoF suggested, Im sending you these special words which I hope will be of some comfort. Please continue to use the forum, your awful experience will help someone in the future I am sure. Lots of love to you Ferdie. Hx

"I'll lend you for a little while, my Grandest Foal." God said,
"For you to love while he's alive, and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be one, or twenty years.
Or days or months, you see.
But will you 'till I take him back,
take care of him for me?
He'll bring you charms to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have those treasured memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
with trust I've selected you.
Now, will you give him all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come
to take him home again?
I know you'll give him tenderness,
and love will bloom each day,
And for the happiness you've known,
you will forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for him
much sooner than you planned,
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and maybe understand."
 
Thanks to you all for your hugs and thoughts.
Llwyncwn - loved those words. Thankyou.
Crying again.
Love to all and our wonderful boys and girls. XXX
