Devastating news :(

Im so so sorry to read about Izzy, you must be heartbroken. I cried reading it. You were very brave to make the hardest decision of all but you absolutely did the right thing. It is the last act of kindness as an owner not to put horses through unnecessary suffering. Big hugs xxx
 
Try not to feel bad, at least you were there for her when it happened and she wasn't on her own.

I can't imagine your pain right now but I hope you will soon be able to think of the good times, but for now let it all out, don't try and hols it back.

Big hugs xx

I am so sorry for your loss. You did the right thing and she would thank you for that. It was a freak accident and not your fault. Try to focus on the happy memories.
Big hugs X
RIP Izzy
 
I am so so sorry to hear this. What a shock for you, and how terribly sad :(

Hugs xx
 
Oh God K I'm so, so sorry. Can't imagine what you are going through. FJ is right, all the Scottish lot are here for you. I know you probably don't feel like it, but you are more than welcome to come over & be distracted by my lot when you are ready. Huge hugs x x x
 
I am so sorry to read this Kerry, all I can do is send you virtual hugs at this saddest of times. You made a tough but brave decision for the horse you love, and Izzy is not suffering, to me that is the ultimate sacrifice. You did what you had to do because you loved her and wanted the very best for her. She'll always be in your heart, your memories of her will keep her with you always.

Big Hugs and RIP to Izzy, you were a star and now you are a star shining bright XXXX
 
Cannot think of anything to say that will help - this is everyones worst nightmare.

I hope friends and family are rallying round to look after you, and you have virtual support here

Hugs
 
I am so very very sorry for your loss! How utterly devastating for you! You really did do the best for your little horse, so please don't ever feel like you let her down! I am sure she is up there watching over you, grateful that you made the bravest decision any horse owner could and gave her the ultimate act of kindness x
 
I am by no means an emotional person but that has seriously brought tears to my eyes. I am so very sorry. Definitely the best thing to do though, and I admire your bravery and for being so strong. x
 
Oh kez I am so, so sorry.
What an awful shock and such a freak thing to happen - where on earth did the nail come from?
I felt very emotional reading it as I lost my old racer last month at 23. Much older than your girl but still a terrible shock as he broke a leg in the field. When it is unexpected I think it hits you that much harder and I totally relate to the mixed feelings you have even though you know in your heart you did the only thing you could and the kindest to her. They are such a big part of our lives.
It will probably feel worse when the shock wears off - really, really devastated for you xxx
 
That really is devastating, i'm so sorry for your tragic loss. As others have said you did the best and kindest thing you could have done for Izzy and it was so brave of you. ((hugs))
 
Absolutely devastating to lose a horse at any time but under such circumstances ........

You made the right decision and no-one but no-one will say otherwise. Big big hugs.

Probably not the time, but someone needs to be finding out where that nail came from.
 
Oh Kez, you CANNOT and MUST NOT blame yourself for this. You have not let your little horse down, quite the opposite in fact. You have made a very hard decision but, I feel, the best one for her. It was an accident and the results were out of your control until the final crunch when you did what was best for her, being the horse she was.
This has brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat - the grief you must be bearing must be awful. Give yourself time, plod through. Thinking of you x
 
Thank you so much for all your kind replies. I am at a loss as to what to do with myself, having to phone and say i have to withdraw on sat and cancelling farrier for next week are all breaking my heart. The insurance company and vets are next on the list, cant bear the thought of those calls.

My family are very unhorsey and i think my mum is so confused as she doesnt feel she can help. OH is suffereing the outbursts, but he knows what she meant to me.

I have no idea where the nail came from it looked like would be used for fencing, so can only imagine it has been buried in the arena for a long time, perhaps when it was built, YO couldnt even speak i think he feels responsible but his wife jumps her top BS horses in there so its no ones fault but it doesnt make it easier.

Hopefullly Izzy will be happy whereever she is now.
