We made very difficult decision to put our old boy to sleep.:(((
My Ginger Horse going over the Rainbow Bridge this Friday at 6pm.I'll never see him again...His cheeky face...His lovely eyes...No one walk to me on the field...My boy,my first ever horse,you gave me so much! We went from high to low with you.You taught me to believe in better.You taught me to listen. You taught me to let go. My wonderful cheeky boy,my Muppet Horse,my joy and pride.How happy i was when we bought you! I remember seeing you for the first time ever-cantering,glowing like fire on the sunshine,swishing your beautiful head.It was love from first sight! And bitter disappointment when we found out what you not 10,but 17.But thats ok,i told myself,you mine and we still have many years in front of us. Then we found out about your arthritis. Then about your back. Then about your eyes. You couldn't see clearly,you saw monsters everywhere,you spooked at nothing,i been told you too dangerous to ride.I kept riding you,i didn't care. Remember our canter up the Kings Ridge,my boy?You been so fired up,you kept prancing and wanted to canter again. And your silly fear of water? And that scary tractor,you though its going to eat you.:)you silly horse. Or our everyday canter bareback down the field when i was putting you back to the field? Me laughing and telling what a good boy you are.
And when you spooked at the leaf and threw your daddy off?You been so apologetic after and kept licking his hands:)
But you going now,my dear friend.My heart and soul go with you,my Ginger.Im taking my little son tomorrow to say last goodbyes to you,i will tell him what you going to horsey heaven and will be happy there. I wont be happy here without you,my Ginger,my mr.Hudson,my Muppet,my Irish Spook Horse.
I love you so much,and i will miss you forever.
Please,on Friday evening can you spare a moment and think about us.
In Memory of Hudson.

Special thanks to a friend who done this video for me.
 
What lovely words about your ginger boy, sounds so like my nutty ginger Jack who i lost two years ago. Its so hard letting them go, I still think about him all the time. My thoughts will be with you! x
 
Thinking of you, how brave to make this dessision, I know I am not so :(

I will be thinking if you and Hudson, and I hope he enjoys all this sunshine on his back and that you can make more happy memories in these next few days ((( hugs)))
 
Heart goes out to you. I will be in your shoes in the next week or so, as my old boy is also going to rainbow bridge.
Be brave you are doing the right thing for him and he is having lots of sunshine on his back.x x x
 
Thoughts are with you for Friday hun - this brought tears to my eyes reading your post. God bless both of you!

I nearly lost my mare last October and literally couldn't come to terms with it - but we all know deep down - one day, we have to come to this decision..... for them.

Rest peacefully gorgeous boy...

So so sorry, iv been there as well and was the hardest part off my life but I held my girl until the end as I didn't want her left with a stranger. Really happy I did and sat with her for a while after. Her headcollar hangs with pride in my tack room
 
I was there in August where my old friend had to go. If it's any help now is the hardest time after is I think a little easier I still miss him but you must just think of the nice times and that you looked after him to the end, will be thinking of you on Friday
 
Of course we will be thinking of you - and we should all be taking the time to remind ourselves that horse ownership means responsibilty right to the very end.

Be strong and hold your head high, and take with you all those wonderful memories. x
 
I am so sorry its very hard!! Will be thinking of you!! It will be 1 year on the 30th that I had my boy PTS its truly heartbreaking!! Massive hugs (((HUGS)))
