My poor little gingerwitch will not longer be with us this time tomorrow - after a tearfull few days the decision was taken last night that her time has come. Poor little mite did not want to be in and she did not want to be out... i looked in her eye and she looked at me and i knew. I dont know who shed most tears me, oh or gingerwitch - i brought her in gave her the sweetest hay in the barn, sugarbeet, calm and condition and almost a sack of carrots i told her i loved her and gave her a brand new lickit.

Got to yard this morn and I knew the decision was the right one, so she has just been bathed, and pampered, all legs trimmed, her tails is like silk and her mane - well lets not go there shall we.

Spoke to my wonderful vet who offered to come out there and then but i asked for today to be with her - to remember her being naughty having her face washed - which she was ! - to remember her standing in the sun in the middle of the summer meadow and to say all my goodbyes - but a day is not long enough to give her all the hugs, love, and treats i want. I have cried and cried and cried and i hope not to cry any more but the tears still flow - i am raw and i feel like my heart is torn in two - but how can my little gingerwitch be turned out into a her herd when she is now the weakest link - she tried to roll and could not, she is being intimidated by the young - well you cant blame nature - my wonderful yo offered to make me a paddock for her - but she has always been in a herd and how can i change that after 26 years?

Do i wish i had never found her - well yes today i do, and tomorrow i will - but a week full of misery is made up a million fold for every day those little brown ears and shiny eyes have looked for me.

God bless you my little Gingerwitch - and promise me you will still be mine when i come to catch you so we can go and jump the clouds x

goodnight, godbless, thank you, I loved you with all my heart and feel empty and sick at the thought of you not being there for me.

That's why they call it 'tough love' - toughest thing you ever have to to do BUT absolutely the right thing!
My heart goes out to you as had to make the same decision three weeks ago with my gorgeous man xx
 
just cried for you too. Big hugs and well done for being so brave you are making the right decision, she will always be in your heart and memories. (((hugs)))
 
There will not be a single true horselover who has been through this and read your post who will be dry eyed. Do not feel that you are alone, because so many of us know exactly how you are feeling. You are blessed to have had a horse with whom you have shared such a special relationship, and those of us who have chosen to spend our lives with these wonderful creatures will know and love many of them, each of whom is irreplacable but makes up part of our lifes memories. Hugs to you and I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
 
Made this decision twice in the last year, your post brought me to tears. It is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do but it is the right thing to do. In time you will be grateful for the love you've shared with her, til then don't feel bad for the tears xx
 
Bless your brain for making the right decision and helping you go through with it.
Bless your heart to be strong enough to help you through the emotions to come.

xx
 
I have a 25 year old myself, and I cry whenever I see a post such as yours because I know that sooner rather than later I will be making one myself. God Bless Gingerwitch - sleep well xx
And hugs for you OP xxx
 
A beautiful but sad poignant post. A brave and self less decision. You will meet again at Rainbow Bridge......

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "

Will be thinking of you. Hugs xxxx
