I'm still struggling to get my head around things. On Wednesday afternoon I said good bye to my best friend.

I knew when I saw her that morning that I was going to lose her. She was drenched in sweat and her bed was up against the walls and the concrete floor exposed. I also knew it was Colic.

A few hours later and she was gone. I don't quite know how I am feeling. For 9 years I have been to see her atleast once a day and now nothing!

For 2 years she hasn't been quite herself and I obsessed over feeds etc to try and find some miracle cure to bring my pony's sparke back. It never came and now she has gone.

Jamin I love you so much my babe and words can not express how empty I feel inside. You were my best friend and I miss you so much!!!
 
I'm so very sorry for you terrable loss. I know there arn't any words I can say to help ease the pain. Have a massive (((((((((((((hug))))))))))) and know that she knew how much you loved her. Take care of yourself. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. Feel free to PM me anytime if you need someone to talk to or someone to just listen.


If the day should come when I'm in pain,
And you know I won't be well again,
Promise you'll do what must be done,
If this is the battle that can't be won.

It'll break your heart, but please be kind,
Don't let your grieving sway your mind.
For this is when you'll let me see
Just how much you do love me.

Together we've had happy years
The future now can hold no fears.
Please don't let me suffer
so When that days comes, please let me go.

For my usual vet please will you send?
But stay with me until the end.
Hold me steady, speak to me
Till my once bright eyes no longer see

In time I hope you'll come to see
It's the last kindness you'll do for me
One more time please stroke my mane
And know that I'll have no more pain.

And don't be sad that it was you
Who decided this was what to do.
We've been such buddies through the years
Don't let me be the cause of tears.

You'll always see me graze now,
with the sun upon my back
Painful limbs won't tire me now,
however long the hack.

I live now in your heart and mind,
a lovely place to stay.
And what you have in memories,
no one can take away.


RIP Jasmin. Run free. xxx

So sorry for your loss, but please dont keep that dreadful day in the front of your mind, put that to the back and remember all the good times in them 9 years.
You have 9 years of happiness to draw on and 1 horrid day, enjoy the memories of fun

RIP Jamin X

I was once told, your grief is measureable in comparision to the happiness that the lost one gave you during their time. It doesn't make it easier but take pride that you gave her everything she deserved and were blessed to be her carer and protector during her time with you.

Love and hugs, it will get easier but you'll never forget xxx

So sorry to hear of your loss, its a horrible time and takes time to come to terms with just as it would if it was a member of our two legged family we had lost.Try to remember the good times you had together they will outweigh the bad memories in time.We have lost six of our horses in the past twenty years all of them were in their 20's and 30's but it is still hard to take, we lost Leonie in November at the age of 35 after having her in our lives for 35 years (we also had her mum and brother) it was devastating for all our family I was in my teens when she was born and my husband and our kids have really been hit hard by her loss as she was such a big part of all our lives for so long. I found myself talking to her this morning and its nearly four months since we said goodbye to her but we will never forget her as she was such a character, I like to think she is with her mum and brother and our other three being looked after my family members who are no longer here and imagining she is giving them all the runaround just as she did with us, take care and remember to think of all your good times together when you feel sad. xxx
 
Thank you everyone for all of your lovely messages. They truly are a comfort and thank you Laura for such a beautiful poem.

Words can not describe how I am feeling. I would give my soul to have her back. There will never be another. I miss her with all I have.

Thank you Jamin, for everything. xxx
 
So sorry for your loss, and another beautiful but heartrending poem. My boy has been gone a week now through colic. Think of the happy times and try not to think of the last hours.
 
i'm soo soo sorry to hear this, it must of come at quite a shock!! forget that horrid day and remember all the nice days you had in the 9 year. she will be grazing happily in the pastures of heaven and one day you will be reunited together and will be able to ride once more!!!

RIP Jamin x
