Oh god where do I start went to he horse this morning my beloved shire Eddie was lying flat out covered in sweet and stressed not cast but just couldnt get up. Rang vet got mum and dad up etc tried to get him up but to no avail by this time the vet has arrived and told me that since he 33 years old and his heart is under stress, he has lost the power to his back legs so she suspected damaged from thrashing around it would be kinder to have him PTS my world just ended when she said that but I think I knew what she was going to say. So with a very heavy and empty heart he was pts. Im absolutely numb but I have decided to post pics of my hero for all to see what an absolutley stunning horse he was and I will miss him forever.

You will leave a hoof print on my heart that will never fade. God bless you my darling xx
 
Sorry to hear this, he was indeed a very gorgeous horse. I remember being very surprised when you said he was in his 30s!

RIP Eddie x
 
33 for a shire is a miracle so be proud that you helped him get there. He will certainly leave a huge hole in your life in every respect.
 
So sorry, bless his heart, what a stunningly handsome horse. 33 is indeed an incredible age for a heavy horse, their back legs usually let them down long before this. He had obviously been very well cared for.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. What a stunning boy, and a fantastic age for a bigger lad. You obviously looked after him very well. My heart goes out to you.
As the others have said - he did you credit.
God bless you both.
 
Stunning horse, such presence! I am so sorry for your loss, but at least he didn't suffer long - like others, just have been there myself. Chin up & remember the good times and all the fun you had with him.
 
Deepest sympathy at this difficult time x Rest in peace & run free Eddie x

Just know that he will live on in every memory that you shared, just close your eyes & he'll be there always and no one can ever take that away. you were very lucky to be able to say goodbye-very much similar experience last year so I can only reassure you that tho it never becomes easy, you will become stronger, be brave x
 
What a handsome noble horse. He will leave a huge hole in your heart but clearly a million memories.
What a credit he was to you.

Lots of love xxx
 
Knowing he has reach on that age just shows how you take good care of him! And for sure he couldn't ask for more than what you've giving to him! He is indeed one gorgeous horse! It's sad but may he Rest in Peace! My condolences to you!
 
so so sorry for your loss & i know its no comfort at all to be told that he was a very good age - but to get a horse that size to that age is amazing - he was clearly well looked after & loved -
 
Really sorry to hear of your loss but at 33 years of age he had obviously been well looked after but was always going to be on borrowed time.

We would all like to think our horses will live forever and will pass away peacefully with no pain or stress, but it very rarely happens like that.

He certainly was a handsome looking chap and you must treasure your memories of him xx
 
he is absolutly gorgeous :) what a cedit to you, and 33 you should be so proud of yourself! how old was he in the pics? RIP Eddie x
 
Thanks guys for all your kind words I have him now back at home with me next to my tb who I lost 5 years ago at 36. Those pictures were taken in summer of this year so not long ago I knew he was a good age but that doesnt stop the pain Im feeling my tb took my heart when he went and Eddie has taken my soul empty is what Ii feel, but now at least he is now at home with me and that's where he's going to stay.

Thank you for all your kind messages it means a lot to me thank you xx
 
What an amazing looking boy. He looks fantastic in those pics, and much much younger than his age. As others have said, he was a real credit to you. What a lucky boy he was having you as his Mum.
