After only 12 months of owning a beautiful black KWPN, he will sadly be put to sleep tomorrow afternoon and be pain free. I just want to crawl under my duvet for a week :-(

Trading Standards and the Financial Ombudsman have been amazing and we hope to get a successful prosecution soon and my horses death will not be in vain.

Really sad to hear this, but knowing just a little of what you went through with him, think you have made the right decision although it doesnt make it easier.

He was lucky to have found you.
 
Oh how awful and such a young horse aswell. I also knew someone who lost a beautiful black KWPN that was PTS at 7 after just 18 months of owning him.

Too tragic for words.

How devastating, I'm sorry. Well done for being brave enough to make such a hard decision. It's so tough when they're young. I hope you have a close, strong friend to look after you. Will be thinking of you xxx
 
I'm so sorry.

I hope the prosecution goes well, I know it won't bring him back but maybe it will help other horses.
 
Such a sad story, but what a lucky horse to have ended up with you, someone who is brave enough to make such a horrible decision instead of trying to pass the responsibilty to someone else. My four legged friends ponies and dogs and myself will be thinking of you tomorrow, again well done. xxxx
 
(((vibes))) for you and for a peaceful release for your lad x The hardest decision but the bravest one x
 
He's gone :-(

Whilst being an extremely unpleasant day, I had the support of so many people.....thank you.

I treated him to a tube of Polo's and then a munch of some new grass. He looked fabulous in his freshly groomed coat and tangle free mane and tail. He was such a handsome specimen of a horse. To look at him you'd think there was nothing wrong apart from a sordid past through no fault of his own.

My vet was wonderful and sedated him first so he would have been in Verve Cliquot heaven before the abattoir did his thing. It was all very calm and dignified, exactly what I had planned.

I picked some bluebells yesterday which are in a cordoned off wood next to his field. They were everywhere and I popped them in a little vase in my kitchen when I got home. Whenever I see bluebells now, I will think of him in a lovely way and they will always bud around this time, being an annual reminder of him.

orrrr that's so lovely. :)
 
So sorry you have lost your boy. I had to make the same decision just 4 weeks ago and like you it was very peaceful and dignified. Doesn't make it hurt less though. so sorry, hugs xxx
 
Sending you huge hugs at this sad time. He was so lucky to have you to make the hardest, bravest and kindest decision for him.

I think that having the bluebells to remind you of him is a lovely way of keeping him always in your heart and memory XXXX

Bless you :( What a lovely way to remember him....I understand exactly what you mean, as when my lad died (21st May) a very good friend came and laid a big bunch of bright red peonies she had picked from her garden upon his body. Now, whenever I see a peony, I think of Mickey x

Hugs to you xxx
