It's time

You are a very caring owner who has put there own feeling aside for the sake of their beloved friend. We care for our wonderfull horses all their lives and the last thing that any of us can do for them is to make sure that they do not suffer and this is what you are doing. My thoughts are with you both at this very hard time x
 
I am so so sorry, my heart goes out to you. What a brave decision and undoubtedly the right one. My thoughts are with you for Tuesday xxx
 
So very sorry to hear this. Obi has been a fortunate horse to have you as an owner as you obviously love him very much to have the understanding to know what needs to be done and the courage to go through with it. Will be thinking of you both.
 
Am so sorry to hear this but sounds like the right decision. Sending you lots of hugs for Tuesday and spoil that boy rotten in the meantime x
 
Many people told me you will know when its the time and they were right. I thought we would get a bit longer but like you just knew one morning when I went along, it was time to call it a day. Its wierd I just knew too by the look that was it. So blooming hard but we all know in our hearts its whats best and one good thing is they dont know at all which is an utter blessing. Will be thinking of you both on TuesdayX Your horse has had a caring owner and its good that you have looked out for him remember that.
 
I'm sorry, I'm new so feel a little odd about replying to your thread, I don't know you but my heart goes out to you it must be the most heartbreaking decision you'll ever make in your life xx

Please, please try not to think like that. I hoped to have 'one last summer' with my little shettie, but it turned out to be the wrong decision, so regardless of how you feel now, you ARE doing the right thing. I felt like I was betraying my little cat last year, but looking back on photos taken months apart, it was clear I'd made the right decision. I recommend taking lots of photos between now and Tuesday. It really helped me, comparing healthy with terminally ill.

I'll be thinking of you Tuesday. xx
 
I've never had to have a horse pts but I know when my dog was ready to go he absolutely told me when I looked in his eye he was asking me to help him out and let him go.
 
So very sorry for you having to make this tough decision when we know you've had your share of sorrow lately.

You're not murdering your best friend. You're doing the right thing for him because you can, because you are responsible for him and his welfare and because you know it's the right thing to do at the right time.

Believe me, I know how you're feeling. My old boy started to go off his legs just a month after my mum died and I just had to respond. It was tough. I shed a lot of tears when I didn't think I had any more to shed, but I sent him to her and I'll see them both again some day.

Big hugs to you from me. Thinking of you both.
 
When they let you know you have to be so brave to do the right thing.... Stay strong, and make sure you have someone to look after you too. Thinking of you :( x
