RIP Beau

A horse at my yard was PTS today, he came down with suspected colic on Sunday and was taken to equine hospital. They operated and removed a lump from his colon, but he lost his fight for life today.
He was the sweetest, gentlest horse.
RIP gorgeous boy.

There was a lovely poem that someone posted on here a while ago when another horse was PTS, all I can remember was it had a line in it about running free? If anyone knows it, I'd like to pass it on to his owner and sharer? Thanks

I am not sure which poem you mean as there are lots but if you go on hoofbeats in heaven website (google it!) there are lots of lovely ones which make me cry. RIP Beau. I am sure your friend will appreciate a poem.

Thanks all.

Rainbow Bridge made me cry! It wasn't the one I was thinking of, but it's beautiful. Thanks for posting it.

My time's come my dear,
As it comes for us all
Hug me close one last time
As I lay in my stall
I feel you shudder,
But there's no need to cry
I'll tell you the secret of why horses die

I got to a pasture that's
far away and above,
But know that we're forever
bound by our love

I'll make hoofprints to heaven
So you'll find your way,
Wear the path smooth to
keep you from wandering astray

I'll carry your guardian angel nearby,
With my wings wipe the tears from
your soul when you cry,

If you're ever alone,
Or your life's hard to lead,
Close your eyes and remember
Me, your eternal steed,

Who awaits, at the gates
to carry you home
So the last journey you make
Is not made alone

On my golden hooves we'll gallop,
And on silver wings fly,
Yes, this is the secret
Of why horses die.

RIP Beau

Horses that life has set free, a million white horses forever to be. Don’t cry for the horses now in God’s hands, as they dance and the prance to a heavenly band. They were ours as a gift but never to keep, as they close their eyes forever to sleep. Their spirits unbound on silver wings they fly, a million white horses against the blue sky. Look up into heaven you’ll see them above, the horses we lost the horses we loved.

Manes and tails flowing they gallop through time, they were never yours they were never mine. Don’t cry for the horses they will be back some day, when our time has come they will show us the way. On silver wings they will lift us to the warmth of the sun, when our life is over and eternity has begun. We will jump the sun and dance over the moon, A ballet of horses and riders on the wings of a heavenly tune. Do you hear that soft nicker close to your ear?

Don’t cry for the horses love the ones that are here. Don’t cry for the horses lift up your sad eyes, can’t you see them as they fly by? A million white horses free from hunger and pain, their spirits set free until we ride again.

Good night and god bless, look for Dexter he is new at rainbow bridge as well

I cant believe all these friends are leaving us, and the tears that I have been holding back have finally flooded back.

To all that are feeling lost without your friends as I do , maybe we can support each other virtually through this site, perhaps it might be a nice idea if the fat controller would add a' rainbow bridge' forum so we all can comfort each other ?
