Last poppy thread

[Holidays_are_coming]

I have always posted about pops in her so it kind of fits that her last post should be in here to, also Im sure I would be mobbed in TR.

My horse of a lifetime that took me from being scared to jump 2ft to jumping 1.20SJ and 1m x-c has gone to horsy heaven she had arthritis that just would not respond to treatment and was lame on 3 legs with no hope of managing her pain. We have had the most amazing 5 years, living most of my horsy dreams, she hated dressage and knew how to drive me crazy but was the sweetest most affectionate mare and Ill never forget her. The vet joked I could write a veterinary book with all her ailments, but I would love to have had longer with her but I couldnt watch her waste away in the field.

Thank you all the vet made the descion much easier but before is much harder than after, Its just going to be wierd not having a horse to worry about, Im going to give it a couple of weeks then I have a host of horses that have been offered to me to ride, so Im going to do that for 5/6 months then look for a youngster, as much as it hurts I cant help but think about my next equine partner.

What a beautiful girl she was. You can see what a great partnership you had. You kept her comfortable to her end, and that's all we can do for our wonderful animals.
