I have owned Amber since she was 4, she is now 22. She is being PTS at 3pm tomorrow as she has acute cushings and has just generally rapidly gone downhill.

She lives on in her son Comet and her two daughters Rosie and another one that was born before I owned her.

14.3hh Sec D X TB feisty chestnut mare. She owes me nothing and i owe her a peaceful end
 
That is so hard, having to make the decision, but very brave of you. I had to do the same thing myself 8 years ago & although it was the right thing to do, it doesn't make it easier. I still think about my girlie (chestnut mare!) & have her son, love & hugs to you. xxxx

Please accept a sympathetic ((((((hug)))))) from me then & a goodnight kiss & a pat for dear Amber, whose loving owner knows it is the right time to say goodbye & has found the strength to do the right thing, heartbreaking though it is.
We will be thinking of you tomorrow. xxxx
 
---Love and Hugs--- i could never do anything like that and be as brave as you! And to know the day and time

i wouldnt want to know i would just want it to be a split second desicion! Bless you, you still have her sone and daughters to remind you of her dont you? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
What a terrible time for you. Words can offer no comfort. I will be thinking of you an Amber at 3pm tomorrow and sending my healing vibes and prayers. Hugs to you hun xxxx
 
At least she has had a long and happy life with you and you are giving her the dignity of going peacefully.

You are so lucky to have her offspring.

Hugs
 
(((Hugs))) to you & Amber. I hope she goes peacefully tomorrow & will be thinking of you.
 
She is looking very sad, almost given up. She is no longer part of the herd, not being bullied as such but just totally ignored, even by her boyfriend. She is also very stiff, even bute is doing nothing. I don't think she is rolling or lying down either as she is not getting muddy.

I have been very upset for a couple of days but now the time and date is set I am feeling much more peaceful as I know this is the last good thing i can do for her.

I will give Comet (and my other 4) a huge hug tomorrow night though.

Night Breeze if you ever had to make that decision you would be surprised that it is quite easy to find the strength to do so.
 
Im so sorry to hear about poor Amber, i had my cushingoid pony PTS last christmas and although i was devastated afterwards i felt some relief that she was no longer suffering.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time

Take care

Very sad, but well done on making the right decision for the old girl. We had our Spaniel PTS sleep in December, he was 15 years 7 months. He went on a fabulous 2 mile walk with us and the other dogs, was in front of us all the way round. We then went straight to the Vet (pre booked) and they put him down in a kind and dignified manner. Admist our howling, the Vet gave me a big hug and said 'We wish everyone was like you, making the decision at the right time even if it feels a little early. Your dog has had a peaceful end, not a long drawn out old age with incontinence and senility'.

I hope all goes according to plan tomorrow, for you and Amber.

Thinking of you. Well done for making the hard decision its what she deserves. I am sure she has had a great life with you and will live on in her offspring.
 
Big hugs coming to you, and my thoughts will be with you at 3pm tomorrow.... You have made a very brave and kind decision.... Amber will thank you for your kindness....
 
Oh Thistle im so sorry and i think you are vey brave and should be commended for doing the right thing. Will be thinking of you tommorrow. xxx
 
As a caring horse owner only you have the intuition to know that this is the right time, It will be very sad for you, but amber will know nothing of it and her dear soul will float up to heaven, look at her babies and remember she is still living on with you. xxx
 
My thoughts are with you, I am sure that it is the only way to repay her. We have made the decision that Nell (33) who we have had for 23 years must not be forced to go through another winter. We will say good bye in September and I will lose one of my oldest and dearest friends.
I hope that tomorrow is as peaceful as it can be.
 
Awww I am so sorry to hear it's Amber's last day tomorrow.

What a fabulous life you have given her, 18 years with the same owner. Not many horses are that lucky.

Huge hugs to you
