What a stunning boy. I really feel your pain, as I have to say farewell to our old boy in the next few days.

The greatest way to show your love for them, is to let them go with dignity.

Thinking of you.

So very sorry - but what a wonderful time he has had, especially with you there to make sure he didn't suffer at the end of his life.

Wow - thank you all for your kind messages and support, it really helps to know that despite what I am thinking, I am not being judged for this, and that you are all there for me, it means a lot xxx

It is heartbreaking for you, many on here know exactly what your going through and it is the hardest decision to make. Time will heal but for now be proud that you have made the kindest most selfless decision.
R.I.P handsome boy xxx

There was nothing more that anyone could do to heal him & so you did the only kind thing that you could & gave him a peaceful end with those he loved. How is that something you need to apologise for? I'm so sorry for you though.

Sweet dreams Ziggy x

Failing him would have been keeping him going for your sake when he was in pain, or keeping him going longer and letting him get worse. You haven't failed. You did all you could, and when that didn't work you gave him peace and freedom from pain.

Exactly - you did everything possible, you let him go when it was time even tho it was breaking your heart. He's now running free waiting for you.
He was absolutly gorgeous

Just checked back to see your pics. He was a beautiful horse - his leg and face markings very striking. I love the one where (I presume it is you?) are sitting by the tree and he is reaching down like he is smiling at you.

I'm so sorry you had to make the heartbreaking decision to let you lovely boy go.
You certainly didn't fail him, you gave him every chance and you were brave enough to do what was best for him at the end.
Really feel for you (((hugs)))

Thank you all again. I am now managing almost a minute at a time without sobbing - ridiculous, huh? FubsyMob, it was me, they are all me and him. God I loved that horse. Blubbing again :'(

I was in the same place as you, last May. I had to have my beautiful girl pts. I understand why you are apologising, but truly, you have nothing to apologise for. I still cry now, and miss her dreadfully. Just believe in your heart that you did the right thing.
Hugs.
