My horse had a freak accident last night and I had to make the hard decision to euthanise him. I feel completely lost already, my heart is absolutely broken. My head is full of ‘what ifs’ and if I did something different or changed things then it wouldn’t have happened. I don’t know how to stop the feeling. He was my absolute world and I just wish I could bring him back, I can’t help but blame myself.
 
I'm so sorry to read this, that sounds like a really traumatic situation and a big shock. It's understandable your brain is trying to work it all out. I hope you have good support around you and are able to be as kind towards yourself as possible.
 
So sorry to hear about your horse. It’s natural to have all the what if’s circling through our mind, and it’s utterly devestating to have such a sudden loss like you’ve had. You did the kindest thing you could to let him be free of pain and let him be at rest, although it’s never the easiest decision ever. Huge virtual hug if wanted…be kind to yourself x
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, heartbreaking.

It's completely normal to question yourself on the what ifs, but as others have said, it was an accident, be kind to yourself.
 
I'm so sorry. I can imagine your world has been turned upside down losing your horse so suddenly.

We all ask ourselves 'what if' after we lose our equine friends, but please don't blame yourself.

Sending you lots of virtual hugs. X
 
Please don’t blame yourself. I’m so sorry that you lost him and had to make the hardest decision, but it hurts so much because you loved him. In time, it will become less raw and you will remember the good times with him.

Be kind to yourself.
 
I'm sure he had the best life with you so don't dwell on the ending - you did all you could. Time will ease the rawness of this pain you feel now so do take care of yourself.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have people around who can support you through this. You put him out of pain and that's the biggest and hardest kindness we can do. Hugs.
 
I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your boy. Sometimes despite all our best efforts accidents just happen and every so often they have disastrous results. This doesn't lessen the shock and heartache but it sounds like he was very loved and you made the right decision for him.

20 years ago I lost my first homebred in a freak accident when he was 3 years old so I have some understanding of how you are feeling. Be kind to yourself x
 
Be kind to yourself. It was a freak accident as you've said and it is unlikely you could have done anything to prevent it.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
