I cannot begin to understand what emotional rollercoaster you have been on the past few days - all I can say is that I admire you for doing what is undoubtedly right for your horse. Stay strong xxxxxx
I'm so sorry for you Beccy. It's a horrible decision for you to make & this fortnight will be hard for you but AmyMay is unbelievably lucky to have such a caring owner.
I'm really sorry, it is so sad and I admire the brave decision you have made. I got to spend a last week with my old horse and it was the hardest thing and most painful time that last week waiting for the day but now the extra time has given me wonderful memories that I got to spend that last little bit of time with him and let him do all the things he liked to do (within reason), I turned him out in a 10 acre field (being a stallion he was only ever use to a paddock), he got fed endless amounts of treats and feed without worrying about his diet.... and I really feel he left me a happy contented old man, I hope in time you will be able to feel the same about the decision you have had to make for your girl.
Big hugs and i'm thinking of you x
Your bravery in making the right choice for her is an inspriation to us all though and I hope if the time ever comes, when I must do the same that I too will have the courage.
I haven't been up here for some time but I am absolutely dumbfounded with this post. I had to run off and do some catch-up and I just cannot believe how awful this has turned out to be. I am so, so, terribly sorry - what a sad thing to happen.
I am thinking of you at this desperately unhappy time. Treasure Amy for the time she is with you and keep her close to your heart at all times.
i was really sorry to hear about your horse, but it has made me really sit down and think about my old mans future which ive always avoided.
he's 20 now and ive had him all his life and he'll be with me till the end of it obviously, but ive never really given any thought to how he'll go out (i hope he goes in his sleep)
