Tomorrow is going to be one of the hardest of my life. It's time to say goodbye to my most beautiful Jess. She has had an amazing winter and been a super companion for an expectant mare, considering she has neurological issues and arthritis in virtually every joint but during the last few weeks she has deteriorated so much. Never knowing if she would get up from a roll or from resting has been heart wrenching. So tomorrow the huntsman is coming to pts. I shall miss her beyond words :-(( x
 
Hugs for you and Jess. From what you've written it does sound as though you have made the right decision with her best interests at heart.
 
Sorry to read this, my thoughts are with you at this very hard time. We care for our horses all their lives and the kindest thing we can ever do is make sure that they do not suffer at the end of their lives, it takes a very brave and caring owner to do this, and that is what you are.
 
My very best wishes to you. I have been where you are twice in the last 6 months and awful though you feel tonight, you will feel a sense of relief when it is over.

I miss our 2 still but know it was absolutely the best thing we could do for them...we loved them enough to put them first.

Take care...will be thinking of you.
 
It is very hard. For you, not the horse, who knows nothing,except that she is cared for to the end.

sorry to read this, but im sure you already know you are doing the right thing by her and dont need me to tell you that! sorry youre losing your girl, and i hope tomorrow goes smoothly for you both xx
 
I had the hunt (same as yours, by looking at your location OP) 2 years ago this summer. Couldn't fault them. Caring, and quiet yet very professional. Big hugs, Bless Jess. xx
 
Thank you for your kind words. I know that it's the right decision for Jess - it is only a matter of time before she loses her back end and I don't want her to suffer that kind of distress. She took a fall last year that accelerated her arthritis and the pressure on her spinal cord caused the neurological issues and the wobbles. No, it's definitely the right time I just need to stay strong. X
 
So sorry the waiting and booking is the worse but it sounds like its the right time if she has deteriorated. I did the same last year, and didnt want to find mine down unable to get up with arthritis etc. You just know when its the right thing to do.But will be thinking of you tomorrow. Big hugx
 
Stay strong, and I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow.

We had our old mare PTS today, and it is peaceful knowing that she is running in the clouds pain free after a good life down here.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Sorry to hear that you too lost your girl today - it's nice to think of them running in the clouds x
 
Thinking of you on this most difficult of days. It is the one last act of love we can do for them ( although at the time, it doesn't seem that way). She knows you love her, and she will run free from pain. Treasure all your memories, and know she'll always be there. Hope my two boys come to meet her. You will always miss her, but she'll be right there in your heart.x (((big hugs)))
RIP beautiful Jess xx
 
Joining my lovely old Arabian, who left his painful arthritis and galloped over Rainbow Bridge, tail aloft, two and a half years ago. Hugs and congratulations for having the courage and love ensure that your mare is pain free for ever. A sad decision to make, but the responsible and kind act of a good owner.
 
Thinking of you today. I was there myself a couple of years ago too, the huntsman was a real 'Gentleman' and took good care of us both, right to the end ...... take care of yourself xx
