RIP Spring Along

My heart actually twinged when I read this :(
Such a fantastic horse with a huge personality, loved and admired by many.

At least he wouldn't of known anything and went out doing what he loved.

RIP Spring Along
 
So shocked to hear this awful news. Poor Daisy, she and her team will be devastated.
RIP Pod you will be greatly missed.
Sympathy to all concerned.
 
RIP Pod.
I had the priviledge of riding him as a youngster while he was still with Lucinda...he was such a character. At least he went doing something he loved and probably didn't know much about it.
Thoughts to all connected to him.
 
Feel so sad for Daisy, must be a huge shock to lose her beloved star like that, but at least as previous poster suggests, he wouldn't have known much about it. But very tragic to be robbed of his well-earned retirement. RIP dear horse, you gave us so much pleasure.........
 
RIP :( Spring Along was one of my favourites. At least he went while doing what he loved, my thoughts are with Daisy and everyone else who knew him xxx
 
so, so, sad - loved Daisy's diary in Eventing mag and 'Pod' was the star every time! Poor Daisy; what a terrible shock.

I lost my horse last week and it is good to think she will have such esteemed company to gallop around with!
 
Maybe he just didn't want to be retired. Often the great horses go doing what they loved, simply because they are great. They have the last say. Would be nice to think of it that way. He will be much missed, thoughts to all connections. RiP
 
Horribly sad, was always a pleasure to watch him doing what he did best, and looking so handsome while he did it. Good that Daisy wasn't hurt, but she must be feeling awful today.
 
Utterly tragic news that stops you in your tracks, such a tragic loss to Daisy and all her team at home that know Pod like a best friend and to his long standing owner. Such a devastating blow to British Eventing a legend up until his last hour, will always be remembered as a great pathfinder who tore up any cross country track making it look so achievable. Thoughts go out to Daisy, words probably cant sum out what she must be feeling and how horrid it must be not to see his gorgeous head pop over the door at home im sure he will never be replaced. RIP Pod you had a great innings x
 
I actually cried when I read this, my favourite event horse. I was so looking forward to seeing him jumping round badminton in a few weeks.
Can't imagine how awful Daisy feels today but as has been said before he would have gone doing what he loved and it was a quick death.
Eventing will miss a true star......

You were much loved Pod x
