Saying goodbye is so hard

[Velcrobum]

I had to say goodbye to my horse of a lifetime just before Christmas and tomorrow it is the turn of his stable mate. It never gets any easier but they both had good retirements.

 

[Carrottom]

It is certainly hard, but personally I feel relieved when the decision is made. Thoughts with you tomorrow.

 

[The Xmas Furry]

It's a damned hard one, but at least you can make the decision, thinking of you xx

 

[cauda equina]

So sorry xx

 

[Baywonder]

I am so sorry. It is always the hardest and saddest decision to make.

So sorry.No it doesn't but try and take comfort from the fact that you have given them a very good life and a good death.Its all any of us can hope for really.

Thinking of you tomorrow. They will be reunited again over the rainbow bridge.

[Barton Bounty]

So sorry @Velcrobum

 

[FinnishLapphund]

I'm so sorry.
Lovely to hear that they had a nice retirement together, but it's still hard to say goodbye. I suppose it maybe also feels a little bit like cutting off yet another tie to your boy when his stable mate goes.

[Bob notacob]

I will be thinking of you tomorrow. They say that a day too soon is better than a day to late .Frankly its no comfort. It hurts like hell.

[splashgirl45]

Hope all goes well today, it’s never easy but it’s a necessary evil for a good owner

 

[Goldenstar]

It’s such a hard thing , it’s not only the loss of the horse, it’s end of eras in life them going represents I think that’s why it gets harder as you age .
Be kind to yourself.

He went with a mouthful of carrots could not hear his buddy calling for him. The call was made last night he was gone at 09.30 so no time to arrange for a companion. Have had his buddy fretting which has made it so much harder thankfully he has now settled and has next door's ponies on the other side of the fence so not totally alone. We had owned him for 15 years and he was a gentle ex-racer.
The one I lost just before Christmas I bought as an unhandled just gelded 3 year old out of a field who had very smart breeding. I backed him myself trained him myself and we had a lot of fun together and I owned him for 25 years.
At the moment I just cannot stop crying as I miss them so so much.

 

[FinnishLapphund]

I've been thinking of you off and on through the day. Sounds like he got the best possible end, happily eating carrots, and then it was over.
It is us left behind that suffer, and struggle.

Nice to hear that his buddy have settled, at least for the moment, hope it continues that way. Wow, what an experience you had with the horse you lost before Christmas, bought as an unhandled 3 year old, backed yourself, and then got 25 years together. The memories you must have with him.

But to only around 6 months later also have to say goodbye to a horse you've had for 15 years, that's hard.
