We said goodbye today to a very very special pony.
Connie was 31 and spent the last 14 years of her life at Mossburn. She was worked hard as a showjumper and won a lot of rosettes until she was in a trailer which flipped over in an accident. She wouldn't load in trailers after that, and she came to us.
She was a one in a million pony, the most sweet-natured, gentle and caring pony you could ever meet.
She bit me last week, which was the most out of character thing she could have done, nobody could believe it. Because of her cushings her pituitary gland had grown and was pressing on her brain, causing her pain and behaviour changes. It was a straightforward decision but an extremely difficult one all the same, and one I am glad was not mine to make.
She taught me to ride, gave me and so many others some great memories and we will all miss her so much. There will be many tears from a lot of people for this special girl today, who owe her so much and she owes us nothing at all.
She had one last morning with the sun on her back, a good groom, a lot of cuddles and fell asleep peacefully and quickly.
Sleep tight beautiful, I'm sure Jasper and Red were waiting for you xx
