Saying goodbye to Ted later.

[Thistle]

As some of you may remember Ted is the original industructable pony.

I have made the decision to PTS a number of times and 'on the day' he has recovered from whatever the problem was.

Well over the weekend his 9 lives ran out.

His laminitis had worsened, and he could not cope with being shod last Thurs, his feet were crumbling badly.

He is full of bute so not in too much pain, vet checked him 10 days ago, would not believe his age (40) and sais he was OK. However over the weekend he has gone very frail and has had a number of 'funny turns'/fits.

He will be PTS around 10.30 today, after having a final munch in the field.

I will be donating a 'SuperTed' challenge cup, as a beginners jumping prize to PC. He has taught so many kids to jump as he went on to 4 more loan homes after my kids had learnt. He came back to me to retire 2 years ago, but started work again shortly after teaching little Harry next door to ride.

RIP Teddy bear, you have been loved by so many.

Will be thinking of you later this morning. What a lovely life Super Ted has had, and he is a lucky boy to have a caring owner who is making the ultimate sacrifice in letting him go, because it is the right thing for him.

Take care. Sleep Well Ted xx

I am sad to say it is almost 10.30 as I write this and I feel for you. RIP Ted.

 

[Thistle]

He has gone, all very peaceful. He had another fit when vet was here, and just quietly lay down and went when injected.

RIP hairy bear

I'm sure there will be a lot of sad people today, but a lot of happy memories associated with Ted. Thinking of you.

 

[Thistle]

I have had so many lovely texts from everyone who has known him, I can still smile at his photos.

 

[S_N]

Oh hunny huge hugs!! He sounds like a magnificent specimen and will be sorely missed by the many lives he has touched.

RIP Ted

 

[Thistle]

Not sure about 'magnificent specimen'.

He was a hairy, smelly cantankerous old git who made me smile every day with his funny little ways. The older he got the worse he behaved. Reminded me of Harry Enfields old gits, the ones who steal the kids footballs and burst them.
