Another here who is thinking of you today. The relief you will feel after your lovely boy has gone will hopefully reassure you that you did the right thing for him. Be kind to yourself. xx

He’s gone, this morning was pretty awful, I didn’t feel instant relief I felt bad but now I am glad it’s done.
He went very quickly and quietly in the field just behind the stables. The vet said that when a horse gos that fast she thinks it’s a sign that they were ready so that was nice and cuts the guilt.
He had the worlds biggest carrotiest breakfast followed by apples and polos!

My other horse who I was really worried about as he hates being separated yelled when I led him to the field and until he went down but hasn’t uttered a sound since. Really weird, he knew. I led him out to look if he wanted too and he was terrified but went closer, sniffed him literally from tail to hoof to nose and then we left. He’s been really chilled all day which is a huge relief.

I am so glad that he was loved and went with love and a belly full of goodies. Handsome lad. Caring owner. What more can any horse ask for? The knowledge on this forum is excellent and not one person has thought this was the wrong decision. So if you have doubts read it back or ask anyone. We have your back. Take time now to mourn and celebrate. Create a thread if you want to about him if it helps. I’m sure we would love to read it. Xx

When my friends horse was driven off the premises after being pts his friend suddenly stopped calling for him. Those left behind know.

Thinking of you, it is horrible having to make the decision yet one knows deep down it is the right thing to do. Have a virtual hug.

It is strange but horses just seem to know when their buddy has died mine certainly did

Never easy but you let him go happy, with dignity and loved and cared for. As owners we can’t do any more at the end. It’s the very worst part of having any animal - so very sorry. He was a lovely looking boy.
