I said goodbye to my best friend, my rock, my absolute everything yesterday :(

Way before her time had come, I am absolutely devastated, The pain is like no other.

She had an accident in her field overnight and there was nothing they could do for her, My life will never be the same.

Everything is a blur at the moment, I will post a photo of her soon, I cant right now.
 
So sorry. 12 years is a long time. But I know what you mean about too soon. I lost a dog too soon and suddenly (overnight) not that long ago and found that so hard. Three months on it is easier but I will never quite get over feeling cheated. My comfort was she never knew old age and pain. But... Time is all. Horses take so much of us but give so much they leave a gap. Be gentle with yourself. It will get easier.

I really hope it does, I've never felt anything like this before in my life, She really was my everything, This should not have happened :(

I just cant get it all out of my head!
 
I lost mine in August last year due to a field accident - it's horrible and even now it's very hard to think about it so I know how you feel. You will in time remember the good times but for now you should allow yourself to grieve. So very sorry for your loss x
 
So sorry to hear this, it's the thing we all dread. As everyone else says, please be kind to yourself, it must be terribly hard to come to terms with at the moment. Big hugs xx
 
Oh I'm so sorry - the hole in your heart must be cavernous . . . please be kind to yourself.

Thinking of you.

I am so, so very sorry. Such a dreadful shock as well as a tragedy. I don't know what to say. I lost my poor little 4 year old suddenly to grass sickness last month, had had him from 6 months old. Miss him more every day. You go over and over every possible factor that could have played a part in the disaster but it is just sheer terrible bad luck. I am so sorry. Hugs x x x
 
Oh my gosh, I'm so terribly sorry. You did the right thing, and she'll of thanked you for it. I believe animals go to Heaven, and that's she'll be watching over you, pain-free.

I do know how you're feeling, we had to have our beautiful cat PTS two weeks ago (in my signature), due to tumors, there was nothing that could be done for her, and I'm still very devastated. But I know she's in a much better place now, nonetheless the pain is still unbearable sometimes.

Think of all the good and happy times that you had together.

Sending lots of big hugs, take care. xx

Rest in peace little lady x
 
Every time I read of such circumstances on here, I hug my girl a bit tighter. Facing it must be tremendously difficult. I can't imagine how you're feeling but to have such a bond with your mare must have been very special to both of you. Thinking of you. X
 
It will. But you can't control when or how. Neither can anyone else. Let friends be there for you, if you know people who have been through it that helps. I wish I could say something to really help.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss.

It is devastating when such things happen (and it doesn't matter how many horses you have lost, each one is devastating) but it truly does get easier with time. After a while you will be able to look at your photos of her and remember the good times with a smile.

In the meantime, look after yourself and take comfort from the fact that you were able to put a timely end to her pain.
 
Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

Found this for my friend who lost one of her boys due to a freak field accident on Friday. Sorry for your loss x

Thanks you every one for your lovely kind word,
I think the shock is easing and I can think about it all a bit clearer now.

She will always be my horse of a lifetime and I owe so much to her, and I have my other 2, but it just isn't the same.

Thank you again for your kind words, now to learn to live with this pain...
