Goodbye my love

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm also very sorry that the reason for why it was an easy decision for you to make, was colic. You said you where lucky to have loved her for so long, but she was also lucky to have gotten to live with the same owner for over 20 years, and live to her mid 30s.
Besides missing her because you love her, no matter how many others you also have, it still feels empty when one of them isn't there anymore.
R.I.P. Heather

Thank you all. She really was a diamond. The perfect first pony - although not without the usual pony antics! Heather was a saint with kids. She was loved by so many which makes my heart happy. Her little field friend is coping very well living with the sheep, I was worried for her but she saw it all happen and then had time afterwards with her. Before she went, they both neighed to each other - like a goodbye I guess. God it made me sob harder but it was also very comforting at the same time. I’m very lucky that she was buried at home, although in a weird cycle the person who came out to help us with that aspect is the son of the man who told us about her all those years ago. I had to laugh when the lambs started to play on the mound once he was finished. Old life and new life. I will be planting a tree in her memory. She truly was one in a million. Wrapping this up now as im losing my words but just thank you all ❤️

yesterday I said goodbye to the oldest member of my herd and my first pony. The one who started it all. I’m so lucky to have loved her for as long as I did. She was in her mid 30s and with me for over 20 years. They don’t make ponies like her anymore, you know those wonderful mixtures of all sorts that were typically grey and tough as old boots. She taught me (and so many other children) everything and owed me nothing. People say it’s the hardest decision but it wasn’t. In that moment I knew exactly what I had to do and didn’t hesitate, but I’m incredibly sad it was colic because of the pain. I hoped one day that she would just lay down in the field and go to sleep but they never do.
To my sweet old girl, thank you Heather

So very sorry. We had to say goodbye to our old companion pony a month ago. She was 33 and I had owned her for 32 years. She began to wobble at the back end (Neuro) and hadnt laid down or rolled for two weeks so we made the decision. It sounds like your pony had a long and happy life. x
