Eye looks odd

So so sorry to read the update, especially as he was doing so well. You are to be commended on giving him such a lovely passage and being there with him, like you say not many horses get that, which is so heartbreaking. I'm sure he will enjoy the grass.
The Bute will make him feel brighter alright, but at least he got some respite from the pain before he goes.

Take care of yourself too, you'll feel a bit 'empty' for want of a better word until you come to terms with things.

Great big virtual hugs. Get through the day and you'll be alright...

I hope today goes well. He is definitely one of the lucky ones getting the best of care all the way to the end.

Goodbye Bonanza. Went with grass and a carrot in his mouth very quick very easy a good boy for me right to the end.

 

[ElectricChampagne]

Sleep well Bonanza and I hope your journey across the rainbow bridge was an easy one.

Mind yourself @setterlover hope you are doing ok.

Sorry about your loss Setterlover. Be content knowing that Bonanza had a happy life with you. I can understand your decision. Think of the good times you had together, and all the best to you and your husband.

I'm so very sorry to read your update but pleased he went with the sun on his back and a belly of grass xxx

Thanks everyone
We all miss him but the two that are left have finally stopped calling to him .They knew he had gone, they saw him from over the fence but still they called.
It pulls at your heart strings hearing them.
Tonight they came in from the field to the pole barn ate their tea ( a bit of carrot and apple and chaff just a handful damped ) they have settled eating the hay I put along the back shelf of the pole barn .
I'm keeping them corralled around the pole barn at night as they are safer there as they are getting a bit more spooked by noises than usual also it will help keep their weight in check now there is only two of them grazing the summer paddock.
I have fenced out part of it to reduce the size.
The end of an era for the first time in 50 years I only have 2 horses and no coloured horse I've always had one coloured in the herd.
