I just said goodbye to my best friend

some days I look at my old friend looking tired and wish I was as brave as you. Others she looks ready to go on for another 10 years. It is sooo hard to make this decision. Brave you and undoubtedly the right one.
 
So sorry for you Faerie, you have been so brave.

Better a day to early than an hour too late, and its so hard to know you have to make that decision. Big hugs.x
 
Such a beautiful tribute to Robbie, you are very brave to have put him first and by the sounds of him, he will be looking over you for looking after him. You have wonderful memories & experiences that you shared with him & tho he may now be sleeping, you can cherish these memories forever xx
 
One day you will be able to take huge comfort from doing the right thing at the right time, & when the sadness has passed a little take pride in your bravery & selflessness. There can be no greater tribute of your love for Robbie than what you did for him today.

R I P Robbie. A much loved horse.
 
So sorry to hear of your loss :(
He was a lovely looking boy and I do remember him over jumps, saw him twice in the flesh at Uttoxeter.
At least he will be in peace now and please remember that what you did for him was the kindest thing any of us could do for our horses. You knew it was his time to go and you made the decision. Making that choice can be very hard, but it is when we do it out of love and respect for our horses that mean so much to us, that it is done for all the right reasons.
hugs to you ((( )))
RIP Robbie x
 
Your words say so much, what a sad day for you.

He did his best for you and you gave him the best every day of his life with you right to the very end. You command the upmost respect from everyone involved in horses.
 
What a lovely tribute. Hardest decision to make but, I am sure you will look back and know it was right and brave. (((hugs))) for your loss and RIP to your lad. He sounds as if he was a proper character x
 
Sounds like you made the right decision at the right time, such bravery. Big (((((hugs)))))) Reckon Robbies galloping free right now, sun on his back with lots of friends x x x
 
What a lovely, emotional tribute to your gorgeous horse Robbie - certainly had me in tears.

RIP Robbie and ((((hugs)))) for you. You did your boy proud :)
 
You made the right decision for him and he'll love you for that. I'm so sorry for your loss. Sleep well gorgeous boy xxx
 
If the day should come when I'm in pain,
And you know I won't be well again,
Promise you'll do what must be done,
If this is the battle that can't be won.

It'll break your heart, but please be kind,
Don't let your grieving sway your mind.
For this is when you'll let me see
Just how much you do love me.

Together we've had happy years
The future now can hold no fears.
Please don't let me suffer so
When that days comes, please let me go.

For my usual vet please will you send?
But stay with me until the end.
Hold me steady, speak to me
Till my once bright eyes no longer see.

In time I hope you'll come to see
It's the last kindness you'll do for me
One more time please stroke my mane
And know that I'll have no more pain.

And don't be sad that it was you
Who decided this was what to do.
We've been such buddies through the years
Don't let me be the cause of tears.

You'll always see me graze now,
with the sun upon my back
Painful limbs won't tire me now,
however long the hack.

I live now in your heart and mind,
a lovely place to stay.
And what you have in memories,
no one can take away
xx
