Terribly sad news for you all. My wonderful, handsome boy has been getting progressively lamer over almost the last year. After the last vet visit it was decided that there is no more that we can do for him and I am going to have to say goodbye. I wanted those of you who remember him to know because I feel like the story of his life with me started here, you heard about him before I'd even gone to view him, so it needs to be here at the end too.

I love that horse with all my heart and if I could do anything at all for him I would. He has given me so much and we have shared so much together- from when he came to me all scruffy and green to how he was last year- looking fabulous and out doing show hunter.

I have to say goodbye for the final time on Thursday and I'm still not sure how I will cope.

Here are some pics of him from last week- he is in fantastic condition and not to see him move you would think I've gone insane. It is only when you see him hobble about that you know. I will not let my darling boy fade away and wither with pain, the last gift I can give him is his dignity and an escape from constant pain.

He does look wonderful and is a real credit to you. I can't even begin to imagine your pain at having to lose him. Just hold onto your lovely memories of him though and to the fact that you are doing the best for him.

Huge hugs and my thoughts and prayers for Thursday

Be strong for his sake and cherish your beautiful memories of him forever.

So sorry,

I'm sorry - I don't know the story but just to say that he is a beautiful animal and looks in fantastic condition and I'm so sad for you.

It really is an expression of your love for him and commitment to his well being that you are able to give him the best gift he could have - freedom from pain.

Wishing you strength and peace
 
What a beautiful boy. And in such lovely condition. He has clearly been well looked after and much loved.

You know you are making the right decision. Dont feel bad you are relieving his suffering and are so brave to have made that decision.

Get loads of photos so you can really cherish the memories.

At least you have time to give him loads of cuddles this week.

So sorry for you and Troy. Lots of hugs to you both. And I hope the sun is shining on Thursday for you both.

. I remember the lovely photos of Troy you have posted on here and how proud you were of him. Must be an awfully hard decision for you to make. Sending you all my sympathy.
 
I am so sorry, I always loved Troy, he is a gentle giant. You are being so brave and doing the kindest thing for him even though it is the hardest thing for you - I will be thinking of you both on Thursday.
 
I am so sorry. I don't know Troy's full story but from what you have said you are showing the last kindness you can for him. Big hugs for Thursday and try to be strong for him on the day.
 
sorry i don't really know you.. but if it helps i think your Troy will live on through my Squeaky, as they both have those naughty 'devil horn' type ears (ie they point in at the top) i've not see another horse like that.
 
On no! I don't know what to say. You have been through so much with your lovely boy. He was the first horse I got to 'know' after joining here, and I followed his story as we all did. I am so sorry that it is about to come to an end. You know you are doing what is best for him, but it is the hardest thing in the world for you. He looks as gorgeous as ever. Huge huge hugs to you.
 
I am sooooo sorry. Bless him. My friend Merlin left me last week too so I do understand. Sometimes it just hurts too much. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
You have made me cry - he is big, beautiful and perfect - so so sorry for you, but if he is suffering you are making the right descion.
 
Thank you for the kind words everyone. I am devestated and will miss him so much. I'm going to try to get a new one as soon as- just to be able to be out and doing again rather than moping over him.

StinkerStonkersMum... Troy is one of the best Cleveland Bays too

He is a darling horse who always shows how much he adores me- just wish I could repay that by making him better.
 
I am so sorry to hear that, I remember you were one of the first northern members I sussed out when I joined here as you were off to Stokesley show and we had the orange one there.

Sending huge hugs, I'm sure its the right thing to do, hope all goes peacefully for him. I have to say you can see how loved he is - it shows in every shiny hair in his coat, he's looking fantastic, which must be even more gutting for you.

Will be thinking of you on Thursday x
