Made the heartbreaking decision to have my old rescue mare pts this morning. I rescued her 3 1/2 years ago in a dreadful state and she has been the most wonderful gentle horse and seemed so grateful for everything i gave her. She had a pelvic problem when she came to me, and despite trying all sorts it gradually became worse. Yesterday and the day before she struggled to get up in her box (she loved her bed) and couldn't get her bad leg underneath herself. She fell and banged her head badly. I knew the time had come. I feel totally devastated yet relieved. I have not known grief like this before and have cried so much, i really loved this horse. She had been a broodmare, not with me, and a trotter before that, she was 22 years old. Saff is the second horse i have lost this year. Goodnight by beautiful girl, do all the things you were unable to do, roll, gallop, buck and rear. RIP
 
I'm so sorry. It sounds like it was the kindest decision though & you gave her a wonderful last three & a half years.

Sleep tight in a lovely comfortable bed Saff x.
 
RIP Saff - I imagine her having a right old hooley round the fields, bucking and farting and bouncing for the joy of just being able to do it.
 
Thank you for all your kind thoughts just about managed to post these pics When i got her

RIP old girlie, she looks a lot like my old boy :(

((((HUGS ))))) to you, I know how much it hurts to loose a good friend and was still crying this week over my once in a life time dog that I lost in october
 
This is so hard, everything is setting me off today, her empty box, her hair on rugs and my yearling in the next door box is depressed also. When will it be easier.
 
So sorry. My mare I lost was a trotter and she only liked mares I worry cos all the others I ve known go have been boys so I'm thinking my Nell will go and fetch her now x that may sound silly but there you go x
 
Well you made a real difference to her looking at those pics, at least she went knowing she was loved and well cared for. We are the ones who suffer when they've gone xx
 
She was very lucky to have you and of course you her. Be proud of the comfort and love you gave her, right through to knowing it was time for her to move onto greener pasture. Much love to you.
 
Aww so sorry to hear that :( But at least she's free of pain now, you did the right thing for her, and she'll love you for it. She was lucky to have you.
R.I.P Saff
*Hugs*
