My sisters horse is being PTS this afternoon.

He is the kindest most gentle handsome horse you could ever want and he has been her best friend for 4 years but has navicular and is in a lot of pain. His condition has deteriorated very rapidly.

What an awful day today is turning out to be. Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I write this.

Pointless post but I just feel so sad.

it's the best thing for him hun, you're all doing the right thing by him x
 
Not a pointless post at all huni, I found myself that speaking to people on here makes it eaiser to deal with such a situation.Hes not going to be suffering anymore and when he goes hell be able to escape and gallop off to that big medow in the sky and live a ever lasting life pain free
Chin up hun
 
Sorry to hear about this, so sad.

Be assured your sister is doing the right thing for him - it's the one last good deed an owner can do for their horse when the time comes. (((((hugs)))
 
I have just been to say goodbye to him and it broke my heart. He is only 10 and it seems just such a waste

He is such a lovely boy and it was awful seeing him suffer and I know we are doing the best thing for him its just hard for us.

Your post me me smile Happy GL as Jake loved to gallop proudly around his field with his tail in the air saying 'look at me - aren't I handsome'.
 
am glad I made you smile, I for one and I know many of us on here knows how terrible this time can be, in a way am glad the decision was made for me by nature beacuse I dont know how anyone can be strong enough to make that decison.

Your sister is making the right choice, and one thing I always think of that makes me smile is you know when hes up there with all the others causing trouble beacuse it thunders and its every singly pony from your area having a bloody good time lol

It will become eaiser and I hope you learn over time to think of him and laugh and smile, and I know for the first few weeks youll cry everytime you think of him but it will get eaiser, youll find your self in a situation and saying stuff like if he was here he'd do this or that and do you remeber when......

Just to tell you one thing if you feel like you want to see him once hes gone do NOT let anyone tell you you cannot beacuse its eaiser to understand it if you can truely believe hes gone and id get a lock of his mane and plate it and everytime you get a wiff of it youll smile. then you know youll always have a part of him

Oh I am sorry to hear of your sad news, but at least the horse will be free from pain, you just have to keep telling yourselves that and remember what a wonderful horse he was and stray strong for your sister. (((hugs)))
 
I'm so sorry.

You and your sister will in time take comfort from the fact that you acted in his best interests regardless of your own feelings.

I echo what HGL has written. If you feel like you want to say good bye once he has left us then do just that. I sat with my darling Polly for half an hour and the sense of peace that surrounded her was almost spellbinding (I can't think of another way to describe it), it's something I will remember forever.

People on here have been there and understand, the support is amazing xx
 
Thanks for all the kind words.

Its the kind of situation where only a a few people can understand what you are going through.

Seeing my dad driving the empty trailer home was such a sad sight.

It is the right decision it is just so hard to deal with when they have been a big part of your life.
 
Huni be strong she says as its bringing tears to my eyes.
Hes going to be pain free now and proberly starting his long journey to the medows, and if hes feeling better proberly galloping like he hasnt done in a while.

Rip little man x
