He was such a stroppy moody old man of a horse but I loved him.

Thank you for all the comments and taking the time. I really appreciate it.

I'm going to have a think about what to do about my other one but I won't make any rash decisions.
 
so sorry to read this...

I lost my beloved Sec D last year to colic, was left with the other 2, and one on loan and for the first week after it I was selling them all and giving up as without Bailey it wasnt worth it - Its a year next week since he was PTS, I still have 2 of the horses I had then and am currently buying another. I still miss Bailey and long to have another horse I can have that type of relationship with, but i am glad I never gave it all up - my life would be boring without them - I mean, what would I do with all the money i spend on them....

Big hugs to you Blackhawk. It is such a terrible thing to have to go through.

You dont know me from Adam but please please dont give up. I know how easy it can be for someone to say that but I have read through some of your posts just now and you seem so fond of the horses.

Last year we lost our 8 year old stallion after colic surgery. We had him since he was just a yearling and was really "our baby", since we have no children. We had to put him through colic surgery and then had an 8 hour wait to see if he made it, which he did........however, we lost him 10 hours later to complications. It was truely the worst day of our lives and we said we were giving up the horses. In fact my husband has never truely got over this as we had him cremated but have never had the courage to bury him yet.

Our friends and family supported us and kept us going. We then had a terrible time foaling and to top it off lost one of our best mares in November also with a twisted gut and our only option was to have her PTS, she was also in foal. The vet felt terrible because he said it was not just one life we were losing but two.

Again we felt this was just the last straw we could take emotionally........ however we got through this with huge support from friends and family to keep going after all we have achieved, and we are now in 2007.

As you can see from a previous post in this forum we have not had plain sailing this year already and by god I have really felt like selling everything to do with the horses and walking away.

Somebody asked me truely if I could do this, and in honesty I dont think I could, despite the heartache we have been through in the last year.

You wont be feeling this now, but things will get better for you. Please dont make rash decisions on your future with horses until the dust has settled. Words can be said so much easier than actions, but give yourself time on this one.

Animals can give us so much heartache............but they can give us so much joy and happiness also. Dont give up on the joy and happiness that a future four legged friend may bring you.................also through your heartache today, try and remember the good times you had with your horse.

It is clear to see that you have so much support from the HHO and I am sure also at home with your friends and family. Let them comfort you during the terrible time and then give yourself time to re-evaluate your future.
 
I am so sorry Nic, I know how much you have put into that horse, and looking at that photo he's a credit to you and your hard work.

Always remember you gave him a home and a second chance when things could have been worse for him and he could have been passed around from place to place given the behaviour he showed. You were incredibly patient with him, and no matter what, you have given him I would think, the best and happiest days of his life, and I'm sure he was gratefull for that.

RIP J, big hugs to you Nic, and to your other horse. x
 
sat here with tears in my eyes, unfortunately nothing I can say will make you feel better today, just to let you know I'm thinking about you xxxxx
 
So So sorry to hear of your loss, at least you were with him. I have had the same happen to one of our youngsters who we bred and that was absolutely heart renching I do know exactly where you are coming from. Only time will tell with what decision you need to help you move forward. I hope you don't leave us but completely understand.
