My beautiful Angel, The brightest star in heaven.

Oh Laura. I am so so sorry to hear this. I haven't replied to your posts in the past, but always looked out for them and was so sad to read this. You loved that pony like noone else ever could. Take care of yourself, and remember Lucy as she was when she was with you and happy. xxxx.
 
I said this somewhere else, but I'll say it again. I am so so sorry for your loss, I just don't know what to say

she was such a special pony and always will be... I just don't know what to say :(

sleep tight Lucy xxxxx
 
I am so sorry to read this. I had so hoped you'd have a few more months or years together but it was not to be. Lots of hugs to you and RIP Lucy xxxx
 
Oh hun , maybe she waited so you didnt have to be there and she didnt want you to see.

RIP Lucy - keep strong laura shes watching down on you now x

Cally, that's a lovely thought. it was certainly clear that a better match between horse and human could not have been found, and it's the sort thing a true friend would want to spare from a loved one.
 
Thankyou everyone for all the kind words and messages. Lucy realy was one special little pony and i was honered to take care of her.

jenhunt my vet said something very similar to CalllyH and also said she was glad i wasn't there to see Lucy. This way i can remember her how she was before when she wanted to fight and carry on. Thats my Lucy, my little angel who only a few weeks ago was trying to buck me off during a 14mile ride.
 
I am so sorry. You did an amazing thing for her, and I would like to thin she knows how much she was loved

I hate saying this as it seems so insignificant, but really, a massive hug for you

I hope you don't mind, but I lit a candle with your name and hers on here. It should be lit on page 12 shortly

Laura - I'm so sorry, words cannot convey what I feel for you. You did so well for her and never let her suffer. You are amazing. Through your posts I feel we have all got to know you and your ponies so well, its like losing a close friend.

Run free Lucy, I have a feeling it won't just be your mummy who wants to see you at the rainbow bridge xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I am so sorry to read this, your tales about Lucy really bought home the last few months of our old boy, putting all the money and love you have into them, seeing them pick up, but then having to stand back and let them move on which is so difficult.

Sending you a huge hug, and try to remember all the good memories and the ones of her ill will fade, leaving you with the just the good times.

She was a very lucky pony to have an owner who cares like you do.
 
I too ready your title with a heavy heart. So sorry to have read this but you did an amazing job with her and now she is running free. Hugs to you. RIP Lucy xx
 
So sorry Laura, I've followed all your posts, even though I haven't commented. I had worried since we hadn't heard from you for so long that there was something wrong. There is nothing harder than losing your best friend, but I always think I would rather have had all the fun and love and then suffering, than never have risked loving anyone at all. Take care of yourself...and make sure that little Herbie takes care of you too!
 
I am so so very sorry Laura.

It was obvious from every post how much you loved and cared for Lucy and she could not of asked for a kinder owner.

I am in tears writing this, my heart sank when I saw your post, so I cannot imagine how you are feeling right now.

RIP Lucy, run free beautiful girl xx
 
Laura, I am so sorry to read this. I don't think I have ever cried so much over a forum member losing their horse since Joya lost Gem.

Run free Lucy...look after baby Paquita for us.
 
Hugs to you Laura.

I like to think that your Lucy is now running free in horsey heaven alongside my beloved Polly, who I lost suddenly to colic 2 weeks ago on 28th June, age 26.

Believe me, I completely understand how you're feeling right now. It's so hard.

Love Faro
 
Oh god laura, i am so so so sorry to hear your awfull news.
You were the best owner that a horse could ever wish for and lucy has been the luckiest horse in the world to have found you. You have given her the the most amazing life since she came to you and she will always be looking down on you with so much love and pride and thankfull for your determination to show that she could be the brilliant pony you knew she could be.
Millions would have given up or not taken on a project like her, but you did and you did so fantastically well with her. Think of all of the wonderfull times that you have had together.
Enjoy galloping through heavens grassy fields gorgeous Lucy, RIP.
Massive massive hugs laura xxxx
 
Thankyou again everyone all your messages mean so much and it's just increadable Lucy's story touched so many people. She was such an amazing pony and if her story has inspired just one person i would be so happy.

Faro ((((hugs)))) i'm so sorry for your loss. I beleive all the hho horses that we have lost are running round together and now Lucy is probably taking them on all sorts of adventures and getting them into all sorts of trouble like only she could.
 
I am so sorry for your loss – it sounds from your posts like you gave this pony your all where many others would have given up.

A bit sad but here's the lyric to a song by The Divine Comedy – always good for a good blub.

The Dogs and The Horses
Sing a happy song
'Cause Spring does not last long
A flower blooms and then it's gone
Summer follows fast
Make hay while it lasts
Don't ever dwell upon the past

For one day you are here, and the next you are gone
Every horse has its year and every dog its day, my son
So the only thing to feel sad about is
All the dogs and the horses you'll have to outlive
They'll be with you when you say good-bye

Then the Fall from grace
The lines upon your face
Grow deeper almost every day
Days and weeks roll by
And Winter nights draw nigh

And everything that lives must die
But as the curtains close and the last prayers are said
All my dogs and my horses appear round my bed
They have come to say one last goodbye
Goodbye...
 
Laura,

I started to cry just reading the title of your post

I am so very sorry to hear about Lucy, I too followed your posts with admiration, you did the very best for Lucy right to the very end and she will be forever grateful for your selfless decision to let her pass before she was in pain. I'm thinking of you at this difficult time, i have been there and it is a horrible experience:(

RIP Lucy
xx
 
I am so, so sorry to read this. It has been a privilege to have such an insight into your life with Lucy through your HHO posts- you were a perfect match. RIP Lucy x x
