Arizona broke her leg in the field today and there was nothing that we could do for her.

To say that I am devastated is an understatement.

They were all grazing quietly on flat ground, and the other two didn’t appear to move at all but when I turned around after weeding for a few minutes (maybe 3-4min) Arizona was down and couldn’t get up.

My husband and I were with her immediately and the vet was there in 20 min.

The vet could find no sign of anything to trip over or any ruts but the bone had shattered totally both above and below the knee.

Arizona was a bit away from the other two so there was no scuffle or kick. No one can find any cause.

I am completely in shock. I don’t even know what to do with myself.

She was every hope and dream embodied, with the kindest, gentlest disposition and the most exquisite, soft foal nose. I will miss my cuddles in the morning, her beautiful floating movement, her long eyelashes and quiet whickering greetings.

Words can’t express what we have lost.

aw LG words cannot express enough how I am sure we all feel for you and her. This is such a shock and tragedy happening in her own field.. So sorry for your loss, get some rescue remedy as I am sure you will need it, have some cuddles on the others, and from your family. God bless :(

So sorry for your loss - these things are such a shock :'(

Probably doesn't help but have been in a very similar situation a number of years back (was sharing the horse rather than owned it but didn't mean it hurt less).
