Went up to my old stables yesterday to pick my boy up as the people who cremated him delivered him back there.
Everyone was being so nice and asking how i was ect which was lovely and a friend allowed me to ride her mare which was nice.
Well his in a box about the size if a shoe box and weighs a tonn! They also gave me back his shoes which i am going to clean up and put on a wooden plaque one for me and the other for my friend (well shes more like my mum lol) who used to own him. but it looks as if the shoes were not removed untill after cremation which i thought was odd.
Anyway im just babbling on beacuse well its a bit heart breaking looking at a wooden box and thinking what now!
Thanks again for everyones kind msgs xxx here my fav pic of him

((((hugs))))
i wish id had the money to have ted cremated. i hate the thought that i actually dont know wht hppened too him


im at work, crying, thats not good
hho has lost alot of good horses this year and it breaks my heart. x
 
My boy was cremated because he died at a veterinary hospital and it was awful having to pick up a shoe box instead of loading him into my friend's trailer (which was still parked hopefully on their car park). It was seeing the trailer which really hit home. I scattered his ashes in a special place near a local bridlepath (probably strictly against National Park regulations) and all these little flowers came up in the places the ashes fell. That's a lovely idea with your boy's shoes. I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.
 
aww hugs for you but you are lucky to have his ashes back. Like nailed, it is a cost I couldn't justify when I lost my lovely horse last year.

Go sprinkle them somewhere nice where you'll always remember him xx
 
I did think about spinkleing him around but i want him close and not only that he never liked me being to far away from him, once i went away for 3 weeks and he didnt eat and he got very grumpy towards the end of the 3 weeks. He likes to be kept close lol
Even though its sad everytime i think of him he makes me laugh, bless him
 
When ny boy died I had a bracelet made of some of his tail and I wear it still. I also have him in a box and often watch videos when I am feeling sad. It is still very raw for me after many years.
 
(((hugs))) i know exactly how your feeling, i have my boy in a lovely oak casket, that sits on my bedside table. He was meant to move with me to the stables that we bought for him but i lost him 6 weeks befor moving. He cam back a couple of days before i actually went, i cried all that day and then a couple of days later cried all that day too as i was standing on the yard outside 'his' stable but he couldnt see it. Gutted, but it will get better and he will always be close to you cos horses always steal your heart. And with the shoes, they cremate the horse with them on but the temp doesnt get high enough to destroy the shoes so they pull them out of the ashes afterwards. xxx
 
Its so so so sad when you loose any animal / pet as they are such a big part of our lives but I feel with a horse espically everyting you do for them you have to go out of your way to do it like going out in all weather and saving up for weeks on end to buy them that nice extra thick rug that youll think theyll need for the cold winter nights ect.But you have to think positive about their lives which is something I have taught myself now when I think of him I laugh and smile and think my self so so lucky to have had him in my life.He made the rain go away and the sun always shined and I know thats cheesey but with out thinking that I just wanna cry x
