Got a phone call at 9.30 which I knew was strange. The lady who bought my 11.2 section A Kizzy last October was ringing me. I knew straight away. She told me that she had to have Kizzy put to sleep on Wednesday this week. It didn't hit me at first even when she was crying on the phone. But ever since then myself and my daughter haven't stopped crying. Kizzy was owned by a man who had 4 other horses as pets, but didn't have a clue. No feed. They went in their stables in November and never set foot outside again until April. Mucked out once a week. He sold them all apart from Kizzy cos she was old. We felt sorry for her and said we would look after her. Everyone commented on how Kizzy tought she had won the lottery. Rugs, hard feed, groomed, looked after, loved etc etc. But after 3 years and owning 3 horses it was too hard for me and 1 had to go. I sold Kizzy to a wonderful lady who kept in touch with me every single week to let me know how Kizzy was and what she was up to etc etc. We kept meaning to go and see her. But you know how it is. "we will go next weekend" and next weekend never came. We were too busy or had something going on. I was going to go next week to see her as a just over a year since they bought her. The call tonight was so unreal but yet so real. I knew this would happen one day but not so soon. Kizzy was about 22 and was cast in the stable. Vet said colic but couldn't find anything wrong internally. High dose pain killers he said would last 10 hours only lasted 3. There was no alternative but to have her pts. RIP Kizzy. Such a special little pony who at the end had a fantastic life bossing all the big horses round. You can gallop free with Margo now!!!!!! All our love Mandy and Becky.XXXXXXXXXXX
