I had my horse pts a few weeks ago, I wanted my vet to do it as they knew each other and with E's history, it seemed only right.
My vet was amazing, he talked me through it, and gave him a sedation injection and then the final one. It was very peaceful and dignified. My vet helped him down and then he was gone. It happened just how I had hoped it would. My poor horse was only 5 ��
The best bit of advice is the same as my yard owner gave me. Make sure you are calm and unemotional, if you're crying and distressed, your horse will be too. I managed to keep it together until he went down and then burst into tears. I was determined not to upset him and make it difficult, considering I was 32 weeks pregnant I'm quite proud of myself.
I left him with the vet and my yard owner as I didn't want to see him getting put on the lorry as I wanted to keep the nicer memories.
I'm sorry you're going through this, it's very upsetting, but absolutely best for your pony. Xx
