that is so sad.... I'm glad the old girl had a bit of love and attention in her last few months. I bet she'd been a fab horse for someone.
congratulations to Bs Mum for being such a wonderful human being, and for making the brave decision to let B go while she was still happy and relatively healthy.
take her out, treat her to something tasty and comforting and raise a toast to those we've loved and lost.

How very sad, I am sorry that people sent this lady nasty pm's and even sorrier that B lost her fight just when life was beginning to look good for her.
RIP B

I could not sum this up any better. Your poor friend, and how awful that people sent her nasty PM's, who on earth do they think they are! RIP B, and my thoughts go out to your friend x
So sorry to hear about poor B. If I'm gutted and I've never met her, then I'd hate to imagine how your friend feels. I'm sure she did the very best for B *hugs*
Lots of hugs to B's mum - a caring & brave lady. I don't think I could do half as well.
[/ QUOTE ]Me neither. It must have been so worrying. We know how to look after a well horse,but I think I would have been permanently double checking and asking questions in B,s mums shoes. RESPECT.RIP B ,( but B thought she had already gone to heaven when she met B,s mum)
Thankyou Scally, for putting this up when I couldn't, thankyou Kerilly and Nijinksi for your encouraging PM's, Kerilli for giving the old girl her polos and fusses when you were down and to everyone who's replied on here, your comments were really comforting when I feeling pretty low.
In case you haven't guessed yet, B was my little mare. She was with me for about 6 months in total, her last two were spent at Scallys yard. I worried at first that she would find it all a little too busy, but she adored being there. She very quickly developed a girl crush on one of Scallys little mares and they were quickly becoming inseperable. Sadly her time with me was cut short. Had we been able to, we would have done anything to give her the summer in the field that we promised her, but one look in her eyes and it was obvious that she'd had enough.
I couldn't have gotten through that day without Scally, she really held me together. It was only through her support that I was able to be with B until the very end, she stood there, by my side all the time, so, though I've told her several times and she's just brushed it off I want to tell her again here and let everyone know what a fab YO she is.
I recieved a few nasty PM's over a couple of questions that I've asked previously, which really put me off posting this, but I've quickly realised that if they didn't have the guts to post publicly when I asked the questions, they probably won't now. When it came to B I seemed to lose all confidence in my own decisions, and often asked silly or obvious questions, but it was only because I wanted to do my absolute best for her, which Scally made me realise when I was feeling that my best wasn't enough.
So, sleep well sweetie, it was an absolute honour to have known you, I would say owned, but it was debateable who owned who sometimes in our relationship!
