A sad day but I'm sure he will settle into a life of being pampered and hanging out almost immediately!!

Hugs

Oh that's such a shame for you both. I hope he enjoys being a pampered field ornament though.

thank you for all your replys,im sure that he will more than enjoy his even easier life chilling out,just didnt want it to be so soon as he is still a big strong lad who i thought i would still be able to enjoy a hack now and again but its his time now to rest hes done his time working hard

I am sorry to hear this but you are lucky to have got him to 23! i think you have done pretty well and he deserves a retirement now. My mare had to be retired at 16 after only 5 years of competition and enjoyment due to two injuries in the same leg.

Be grateful for the good times and love him for ever.
