Sad weekend

[M1lbie]

We lost my daughters last pony this weekend, he made it to 30 years and we owned him for 21 of those years. The yard and field feels so strange without him.

Ahhh that's a grand old age. They leave a huge hole xxx

Very sorry for your loss, I am sure things are very strange without him after such a long time. Do tell us more about him if it helps x

Thank you, he was my daughters 14.2 who always was challenging both to ride and in his health, fractured pedal bone, locking stifle, and later in life a paralysed larynx and cushings with its associated issues! but he always sparkled and taught my daughter such a lot as he was not the most genuine chap to ride but we loved him dearly with all his quirks and inspite of his high maintenance. I’m surprised I feel so emotional about him as we have lost several over the years as always keep our oldies in retirement with the inevitable end decisions.

So tough to lose them as they leave such a massive hole when they go.
Thoughts with you all.

The quirky ones always seem to leave the biggest hole perhaps because they have such an impact while they are with you and leave so many memories.

So sorry. He was a very handsome boy.

Very sorry. We lost my best friend's ID on Sunday to colic - he would have been 30 in May - and he has also left a huge hole in the yard and our hearts. It was just ten weeks since we lost my horse to the same thing so a very sad day for all of us.

Very sorry to hear your sad news. We "know" these old ponies for longer than we know most people!

What a handsome pony - his character shines out of his picture.
Sincere condolences for your sad loss.
