Rest in Peace, Ned

[Shantara]

On Friday, 28th of June, Ned went over the Rainbow Bridge.
He went down peacefully, with apple in his mouth and didn't fight it and I held him to the end.
His arthritis had got the better of him and he was starting not to enjoy life any longer. I have so many wonderful memories of that Nutty little horse, though I hoped I would have had longer with him. He taught me so much and there was never a dull moment!
So long Ned, until we meet again - your friends will keep you company <3

Thank you so much, everyone, I really appreciate it. I'm on holiday now, in Scotland with the dog! So this is a great distraction, I don't think I could be at home, especially working at the yard, but 2 weeks away should help. I also have Serenity waiting for me for when I get back.
I have lots of great things to remember him by - so many photos, most of his tail, a paint hoof print and hoof print in clay, a teddy and cushion made from his fleece (which, incidentally was the first thing I ever bought him) and some drawings from life that I did the morning he went. It was so painful knowing for a whole week that he was going, but it also gave me time to rationally think about all the things I wanted to do. He was spoilt rotten too! I must have spent about £20 on apples, carrots and mints in that week!
He was such a huge personality, who's left a massive hole in my heart, but when I feel better, I'll have so many wonderful memories to look back on <3

So sorry for your loss. Sadly the price we pay for having these wonderful creatures in our lives, is the way we feel when they leave us

 

[vmac66]
