So proud of my baby! and then some really sad news

[soph21]

I took Gimley to a show today, we came 2nd in the in hand M+M in a very strong big class, and then we did our 1st ridden M+M class and he came bloody 1st!!!

Then after I took him home at lunchtime my best mate took her 2 boys home that she had taken up for in hand classes. half an hour later she rang me hysterical.
She found her 17hh 12yr old TB dead in the field

I cant beleive it, she had only been gone an hour and he was happily munching with his other field mate

I can't imagine how her and her mum are feeling, she was going to BSJA him next season

their so cut up, I went up and gave mine massive kisses and cuddles just now, you dont know what you've got till its gone

Dont really know why Im posting this but my heart really goes out to them, the vet thinks it was a heart attack

This is probably really jibberish but I'm still shaking and in shock,

RIP and run free Jake

That is so great about you winning with your boy. My heart goes out to your poor friend and all those close to her horse, it's terrible and shocking. RIP Jake.
