Really sorry to read this - hate these posts as never know quite what to say. As others said though at least you know you gave him the best last few years possible and saved him from suffering and made the brave decision when the time came. It's terrible being so attached to our animals but it makes us who we are and I'm sure non of us regret it even when it can be so heart wrenching at times.
RIP Monty.
Reading this has brought tears to my eyes. I always enjoy reading about your adventures with Monty and of course Zoomy. I hope you're doing ok and your OH is looking after you. xx
Monty was a fantastic horse and you the best kind of owner, you gave him 5 wonderful years of being loved and cared for, something it sounds like he didn't have before.
You made the most difficult decision and let your boy go when the time was right, he will be forever grateful for that!
What a brave girl to do the right thing for him, you'll always have him in your heart, I really think you have shown true love for him, thank goodness you found each other and had 5 wonderful years together, what a thoughtful person you must be, lots of hugs to you and Zoom XX
It seems to me as if you saved each other, and when the grief has subsided a little, I hope you'll realise that he really couldn't have asked for a better owner than you.
so, sorry to hear of your loss,
He had a good home and was loved, and thats what is most important, so sad that he become ill. I lost my horse in November, it was heart wrenching, so I know how dreadful you feel.
I am so very sorry to hear Monty has lost his battle to survive.
He had an amazing life with you and I am sure he's looking down on your now thankful for you allowing him to take that place in your heart and become yours.
I know I said already but Im so so sorry, what you wrote for Monty is truly lovely, and made me cry. Im Glad I did get to meet him and see how special he was, youre so brave and If I was a horse I would love an owner like you. No words can help, I know
But thinking of you and you know where I am. RIP Monty Big Man Galloping happy and free in Heaven XXX
Thanks everyone for the kind words. It is so great to have HHO. I know there are so many people on here who have been through it and it is a real comfort.
I am going to bed now. Can't bear the thought of going down to the field in the morning and not seeing my beautiful boy but I know that Zoom's smiling face will get me through.
