Pictures My lovely old horse has died

[Spotherisk]

Love the bones of him, 31 was a great age, and only last week I celebrated owning him for 26 years. There was some unusual late night neighing yesterday - to cut a long story short he was passing blood and the vet said he was broken inside, it was his time. Two hours from the neighing to his final breath.

My first horse, and almost certainly my last.

Goodnight my beautiful friend Harley, gone over to be with Tinner and Smurf once again.

I'm so sorry, I've always enjoyed hearing about your oldies. Thank goodness you heard the neighing when you did and were able to get the vet out asap. You did him proud.

They leave such gaps in our lives.

Sorry for your loss but 31 years old is amazing age for a horse to get to. I can understand it’s really hard to say goodbye especially after 26 years together.

That is so sad for you @Spotherisk What an amazing life he had with you, being loved and understood and finally with you there to help him. No one could have given more. I hope you are able to rest and, in time, remember the good times and the amazing love and stability you gave him. x
