Rest in piece baby girl

So sorry to read this, you had been so looking forward to moving to your new home and for this to happen so soon after moving there must be heartbreaking, thinking of you xxx.


RIP Fly
 
Couldn't reply for the tears earlier. So so sad for you GG. Hope you catch the low-life responsible, even if it won't bring Fly back.

Run free, beautiful girl.xx
 
So very sorry GG. Your description of Fly at the end was very moving. I am sure you have and will shed many tears but you were there for her when she needed you. God bless you both x x
 
I am so sorry, what a beautiful horse and your photos brought a tear to my eye especially the last one taken by Dan.
RIP Fly (((hugs)))
 
I actually just can't believe this is all happening. The past 7 days have been a blur I think. Our landlord is beside himself and is being wonderful...we are almost certain who is responsible but if people wish to know more, PM me as I can't put it in public and I will respond when I get time/inclination, but in the next couple of days. I still have to go back to the old house tomorrow and do the last trip which means getting all of her rugs out of the shed :(

In 1994, my old mare Teasle was stabbed in the head in her stable so I am well aware that there are people among us that can do these things. I just can't believe I am going through it again. I can't believe that Fly couldn't be saved as Teasle was.

After she had gone, I asked the vet to remove the massive bandage, it was three layers and about 4 inches thick...I wanted her to have a better feel and tell me what she could feel as the x ray showed the damage without doubt but inside the hock and I guess I just wanted some final reassurance that I had made the right call. Basically, the fracture was inside the hock (central and third tarsal) making it unstable, she had also suffered severe damage to the digital extensor tendon (long) so there would have been no amount of treatment that could have helped her and this is from a vet group that have every facility and piece of specialist equipment at their disposal. If they can help with the slightest chance, they will. I am relieved at least in knowing I did the right thing.

Her owner sent me such a lovely email, saying, "I may have been her legal owner Cheryl, but she was your horse and you have given her 4 years of love and wonderful care that she would simply not have had without you. I know nothing about horses and only stroked her a few times so my thoughts are entirely with you tonight and tomorrow and I trust you to make the right decision, however hard it may be".

I am dreading going to bed. This place has carried me this past week and certainly since Saturday evening...I am dreading the silence of night :(
 
I can't believe how sick some people in this world are :mad: :(

Remember throughout all the silences in the night there is always someone here on hho xxx
 
I just logged in after a few days away and this post was the first I saw. So terribly, terribly sorry for your loss, sad enough at the best of times but just so unfair after you have been on such a high with the new place. At least her last days were spent in a beautiful field with you nearby. I hope you get to the bottom of it just to get peace from the cause. You will be in my thoughts tonight, as I'm sure you will be in many others, so try and take comfort from that in the silence - hear us all there for you through the ethernet xxxxxxx
 
Oh no GG, I am so, so sorry to hear this. I've just caught up on your last thread and had tears streaming down my face by the end of it, I cannot believe the cruelty of some people. Fly was an absolutely beautiful girl who was so clearly adored by you, she had a wonderful time with you and went peacefully surrounded by people who loved her. Those are lovely photos to treasure and that short video was lovely - what a gentle soul she looked. Such kind words from her owner too. Take care of yourself as best you can - we're all here to talk to when you need us, sending huge hugs & thinking of you xx
 
I'm so very sorry that this was the outcome :( I read your other thread and am so sad for you now.

I hope you can get to the bottom of this and that justice can be done but make sure you look after yourself x
