Dear God,

What a truly lovely post, and I am sure that God will take good care of your boy for you until you meet again xxx
 
What a day tomorrow will be, a day every owner must dread.
As somebody said to me when I lost my boy, 'Don't cry about what you have lost, smile because you had him'.
Took a long time to get to the point where I could smile about him but I got there eventually, as you will too.
Best Wishes x
 
I have never experienced having a horse pts, so I thanked him tonight for everything he had done for me (just in case it was too much to put into words tomorrow).

It is with a heavy heart I have made this decision, but the supportive posts that many of you have taken the time to write have lightened the load somewhat. Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.
 
what a lovely and moving tribute to your Frankie. So so sad for you. It is the final act of kindness we can do for our animals. I am sure Frankie knows how much he is loved and will go with his mum at his head and a mouthful of his favourite treat.
Best wishes for you for tomorrow. xxx
Ps I had to make the decision for my old lad in april, and it was very peaceful. He went with his head on my lap and although i was heartbroken, i knew it was best for him.
 
That made me cry. I am very sorry to hear about your boy. He has obviously been loved & cherished for the last 20years & no doubt your decision is one of love. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow :'(
 
OMG, you poor pet. It is still so hard, no mater what age they are. I've had to put my two best friends to sleep in the last year, It's so hard. Keep the chin up, as you say, he'll be waiting for you when you get there!!!! RIP!!
 
That was straight from the heart, Rebecca, very touching and thoughtful. Frankie has obviously given you much in return for the love and care you have given him. The pain will pass and you will always treasure the memories. Stay strong!
 
RIP Frankie that was a moving tribute and brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes...

Stay strong today - it will be a hard day but you are showing him the greatest gift... he will be waiting for you and knows he has been well loved...

They are only ours for a short while.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, it really has given me strength over the last couple of days. He went peacefully yesterday, I couldn't of asked for a better ending for such a fantastic horse, even in death he gets it right. He let me hold his head and love and stroke him untill his last breathe.

He has the poem that was quoted on here to go on his casket "God saw that you were tired..." It just about sums him up.

He had the most fabulous life and did many things with me, I retired him five years ago, but I'm sure he would of gone on and on for me. I asked him to take care of his little sister and me when we are eventing and to give her the same courage and strength that he has shown me.

Allthough I feel tired, weak from crying and empty. I am relieved that he has gone and will not suffer this harsh winter. RIP my best friend, may we meet again one day xxxxxxx

This was him at 25, I would resize the photo, but i dont think i want to.
 
What a stunning boy he was!

Your tribute to Frankie was one of the most heart wrenching and moving things I have read on here.

The love and bond you had with him shines through in every single word you wrote.

I am so very sorry you had to say goodbye after all the wonderful years you shared together.

But take a little comfort from the fact you made the decision to let him go in dignity and peace and that is the final act of love we as owners have to find the courage to do when the time comes.

You are very much in my thoughts right now.

RIP Frankie, may you rest easy at Rainbow Bridge until you are reunited once again.

What a stunning horse ! Your post oozes compassion and love for him, he was a lucky boy to have had such a good home for so many years, but he knew that, as he repaid you with his trust and honesty.
Sleep sweetly, Frankie, til you are together again.
