Tough day

[Jeni the dragon]

Had to say goodbye to our oldie Rog today. 31 and looking an absolute picture but really starting to struggle getting up.

He'd been with us since he was 17 but knew him from 4.

Heartbroken.

I'm so sorry. He was a good age, you had obviously cared for him very well and continued that care by making the right decision for him at the right time. You cannot leave them once they start to struggle getting up. Try to concentrate on remembering the good times.

It is so sad to lose a horse, even if they are old. Thinking of you.

I'm very sorry. But I do like to hear of horses that were loved to the end - and in your case that was a good long time. There was a post on here ages ago about seeing confused old horses in markets getting all excited at the sight of a blonde girl in a gilet, thinking their person had come to rescue them. I have never forgotten it.

 

[splashgirl45]

so sorry but you have done the right thing for him, R.I.P. Rog

 

[Ownedby4horses]

So so sorry to hear this, it is so incredibly sad. You have given him so many years of a wonderful home and he will have been so happy with you im certain.

Do not cry for me, as I am not gone
just close your eyes and look into your heart
as I am there and always will be.

Please be kind to yourself. x

 

[Fools Motto]

Very sorry to hear this, but be proud of being a fantastic owner. x

He was a lucky horse to be in the same home for so long. Many years ago I was at Leicester Horse sales and there was an elderly roan gelding there. Plaited up, not very well but no owner with him. Poor old boy looked so bewildered. I so wished I was in a position to bring him home with me. At that time he would have gone for slaughter. I was only in my teens then, 70's now but it still haunts me.

Thanks everyone. A massive gin was had in his honour tonight.



Taken a month ago.
