Reg left for his lovely new loan home a fortnight ago. This is just a bit of a thank you post, with a very short report at the end.
When we first met Reggie, I don't think any of us could have predicted the journey him and Al would go on. It's been a truly amazing 4.5 years of knowing him, and having the absolute pleasure of watching them grow and learn together. It's never been easy but it's been so much fun. He might not be the horse who goes on and does all the cool things Al wants to do but without him she wouldn't be where she is today. He put her on the map and made people watch her. At first it partly was because he was a raving lunatic, but as he settled down and she learnt how to really ride it was because people were astonished at their transformation.
Reg is a once in a lifetime type of horse. He's not taken the eventing world by storm, he regularly has more poles down than ones that are left up and he frequently refuses to even consider playing at poncing. But he's kind and gentle and funny, and he has given Al so much fun and so many beautiful memories.
He is a truly delightful horse who we all adore and wish his new family the very best times with him. He has absolutely earnt his quieter life of being pampered and cuddled and going on lovely long hacks and I hope he enjoys it.
I can't really be sufficiently eloquent to say exactly what Reg means to all of us, but especially to Al. She loves the bones of him, and even though it's not a proper goodbye it's still very hard. So thank you Reggie for the past 5 years. It's been good.

I'm posting this again because it just shows how much they grew together.
Thank you to everyone on here too, who has cheered them on from afar and offered advice and support and encouragement when things were really at the lowest point. When things are bad and you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, a complete stranger saying keep going, you're fine can spur you on just that little bit more. So thanks
