It breaks my heart writing this but yesterday afternoon I had to make the agonising decision to have the most important thing in my life PTS.
Just as we thought we were getting on top of her problems it just became too much for her.
In the two and a bit years I had her she blossomed from an emacated bag of bones to a stunning (in my eyes anyway) delightful mare that was a pleasure to be around. Everyone on the yard loved her and her quirky ways and she didnt have a nasty bone in her body.
She might not of been schooled but boy could she jump when she she wanted to and she adored hacking and could go on for hours. It was my hope one day to do a sponsored ride with her.
Unfortunatly I didnt see her go as I moved back to the IOM In April and she was due to follow in the next few months and that is the one thing I regret the most. That I wasnt with her until the end. I feel like ive abandonded her.
Luckily my friend was there and he did a fantastic job looking after her.
So I want to say a public thankyou to my vet Robin at Thames Valley Equine (I cant praise him highly enough) who has dealt with all her problems and was there for the end and my friend JP for looking after her for me and putting her needs before his own.
So tonight guys and galls please give your horses a huge hug as you never know when the end is coming. Luckily I always go by that rule and everytime I went away I gave her extra hugs but it still doesnt make it any easier.
