Said goodbye to the old girl today :(

[B_2_B]

Mossburn said goodbye to our oldest resident today, our 41 year old mare Flicka.

She was struggling yesterday, wasn't eating/drinking and had a temperature but was bright in herself so the vet gave antibiotics and took bloods. The bloods were clear but she still hadn't eaten today and seemed to have decided she'd had enough bless her.

It was a beautiful day and she had the sun on her back lying in the field.

Sleep tight Flicks xx

She looks lovely, what a grand age to live to and what a nice last day she must have had in the sun. Big hugs to you and all involved xxx

Bless her.. Thinking of you xx

Bless her, what a fantastic age and lovely pictures. And a wonderful way to go on a sunny day. Must feel strange without her around though after all those years.xx

Grand age and a lovely looking old girl. Glad she went on a nice day, bless her. I'm sure she'll be very much missed.

So sorry. She looked a grand old lady and no doubt spent a few last wonderful years. Run free beautiful girl. xx

It will be very strange, not having to put the mounting block out for her to eat off (the floor is over-rated!) and I don't know who will keep the yearling in check now! lol.

What better way to go, in the sunshine, loved, and not allowed to suffer, just the fitting end to a long life. I could only wish for that for all of us.

RIP
