This really says it all:

<font color="blue">If the day should come when I'm in pain,
And you know I won't be well again,
Promise you'll do what must be done,
If this is the battle that can't be won.

It'll break your heart, but please be kind,
Don't let your grieving sway your mind.
For this is when you'll let me see
Just how much you do love me.

Together we've had happy years
The future now can hold no fears.
Please don't let me suffer so
When that days comes, please let me go.

For my usual vet please will you send?
But stay with me until the end.
Hold me steady, speak to me
Till my once bright eyes no longer see.

In time I hope you'll come to see
It's the last kindness you'll do for me
One more time please stroke my mane
And know that I'll have no more pain.

And don't be sad that it was you
Who decided this was what to do.
We've been such buddies through the years
Don't let me be the cause of tears.

You'll always see me graze now,
with the sun upon my back
Painful limbs won't tire me now,
however long the hack.

I live now in your heart and mind,
a lovely place to stay.
And what you have in memories,
no one can take away.</font>

Rest in Peace old girl you deserve such peace and happines, I really hope you have it where you are now. Ill miss you forever but I know it was the right thing to do. <font color="blue"> </font> <font color="blue"> </font>

Aww I'm so sorry. It is always heartbreaking when their time comes to leave us. Keep her close to your heart - she will always be with you.

Ive not thought about it since we booked the vet to come out, so I dont get upset in front of my work colleages - one made me cry the other morning though as she overheard a conversation with my vet.

My vet was amazing and so professional. He arranged for his nurse to come well before he arrived so she could tell us all that was going to happen. He was amazing with the old girl and behaved so wonderful. All through it all the nurse wouldnt let any flys land on her head/eyes, which I thought was very thoughtful.
 
thanks, I need them. My bro has just come over with a huge bunch of flowers for me and mum to cheer us up. He is thoughtful even though hes not a fan of the horses
 
Thanks Tia, Im trying to remember her how she was is her younger days, not how she was at the end. she was amazing and ive got lots of really good fun memories. That is what im going to remember her by.
 
That made me cry but made me feel a little bit better. I lost my boy 12 years ago today and i still cry every year i miss him soooooooooooo much even now, i lost him in a car accident. My heart goes out to you.
 
thanks Sarah, ***hugs for you too*** Ive nearly had 13 years, she was a Christmas prezzie from my mum

. The best prezzie anyone couldve had

. No quality breeding or stunning looks, just a common pony with a bit of an attitude who did things she wanted to do and when she wanted to do them, but she was the best and she taught me so much. We did everything and anything together. Id have her back immediately if I could.
 
beautiful poem brought tears to my eyes. I lost a pony when i was 7 so i feel your pain.There isnt a day that goes by that i dont think about her. Just remember the good times and that she is no longer in pain. (((((hugs)))))

I know what you mean, But today you gave that horse more love than you ever could by saying good bye and letting her go to a better place, always remember this don't matter how hard it gets, get find a quite spot and sit and talk to her she will hear you.
 
sat here in tears and I didnt even read the poem - knew I would spend the next hour howling if i did!
Im so sorry for your loss, you have to trust the connection you had with her and believe that she was ready to go, I had to do the same thing to my old girl a couple of years ago, she was my 9th birthday present and i think I was about 22 when I had her pts but I could tell she had enough of this world.
Remember the good times - i have a pic next to me now of me and smog going over a trekaner which i was petrified of !
Be strong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
**Hugs** I hope that it's many many years before I have to face this with mine but when I do I hope I'm as brave and as kind as you. Sounds likes between you, the vet and the nurse she had the most peaceful, loving journey out of this life.
 
I am sat here with tears in my eyes, it is such a lovely poem and it sounds like she had a very peaceful journey at the end, as it says remember her with the sun on her back. I have only had my boy 3 mths and I can't imagine dealing with what you are going through and I know I won't be as strong as you.
