Pointless post. Sat looking at pictures of the Tigs and feeling sad. Is probably all the fault of the cold (yet another cold). It's got to get better hasn't it?

I had a cuddle with Sandy's ashes earlier, so I will join you in your sadness if I may.

It will get better, I promise. The good days will get more frequent and the soul destroying days will get fewer.
When you feel ready, I would love to see some pics of Tiggy. X

I think it takes a while. Longer with a youngster. When I lost my 2 year old it took me a long time to get over it. I just shut the stable door (top door) the day she was pts and didnt open it again for 6 months.
She was a beautiful horse.
10 years on this has still brought a tear to my eye.
But I can also laugh at her antics! She was never easy and tbh I dont think I would ever have ridden her. As a result I ended up with Doris aka Dozzie or Presshus!! And Doz is the biggest softy ever.
Lets just say,Dozzie went to a good yard for schooling wont mention names but it was a top showing yard, and her groom was in tears when I took her home. Even the yard manager's kids were hugging her and she was only going back across the road! She had been there 5 weeks!
Ellie was the better horse in terms of quality and potential but Doz is Doz and she is just so cuddly and loving that it makes up for lack of ability!
Doz is an amateurs horse. Ellie was for a professional.
Sorry for rambling but your post has made me think about things again.
I hope you have found a horse that has different qualities to Tiggy so you can continue to appreciate them both.

Big hugs MrsM, I know how you feel and still have a little cry about Mazzie quite regularly.

Sorry folks. I didn't mean to rake up others sadnesses. I've got a stinking cold again, and I feel like cr&p. Looking at the pictures was probably not a good idea given the circ.s. Life outside horses is not good - it's unlikely to be a festive season.
I do have another horse coming, and Dizzy is definately different to Tiggy. Bigger. Better bred, as it were. But still loving.
Think I should go to bed.
Hugs and thankyous for your kindnesses.

I never thought I would find another Sandy or Holly (I lost them three weeks apart) and I didn't, but Star is just as lovely in a different way. Yes Star is well bred, young and gorgeous, but I'd still give my right arm to have Sands & Holls back.
It does get better Mrs M I Promise you. I lost S & H 2 1/2 years ago and not a day goes by when I don't think of them and miss them desperately.
Have a good sleep, I hope you wake up feeling a little better.
PM me anytime if you want to talk.

Things are a bit raw here too Mrs M.
It only hurts so much because you cared so much.

Thank you for the though. Unfortunately not, Tig's was four and a half when she was PTS a month ago - I'd had her for a year. But we had a lovely time getting to know each other, and she taught me soooo much. She was an IDxTB spotty bott (blanket spot). Due ot on/off lameness we didn't get to do all we may otherwise have done, but I'd aimed to take it slowly anyway. Her rear suspensory ligaments were shot - something that the vets said happened before I got her. I didn't have her vetted, and it wouldn't have shown up even if I had - plus, I might not have bought her? And if I hadn't, I would have missed out on so much. First hack out. First jump. First Polo. First whinny when she saw me in the morning. Cuddles and fun
It was admittedly a frustrating year, and it had an awful end, but I would not have missed it for the world.

you are very lucky to have expieranced the most important mile stones in her life like first hacks etc (no matter how trumatic they may have been!!) i'm sure you have some fantastic memories of those great moments.x

Yes I was
We had the occasional, er, interesting moment lol, but on the whole she was amazingly calm and relaxed abuot the whole thing. And as for jumping! The day after I'd introduced her to a twelve inch pole, she leapt into the arena with her ears pricked and wanting to take on all the jumps set up ready for a competition! Was a hoot trying to explain to her that even if she was ready for three feet plus jumps, I wasn't! Thank you, you've brought some really good memories back
