What its all about...

Im looking into star of Bethlehem but as I recall it's in rescue remedy and he has 10 drops in his food now, but I'll double check my recollection is correct x I have to say that a lot of those pictures were taken by twizzel who I know won't mind me posting them on here, she's a member on here and her old sharer, she captured some fantastic moments, and yes, you can see my goofy grin in many of the pics, 11yrs on and she could still bring that out of me :D Ian Hampton is also the fab photographer who took the hunting pic, it was the very best ride we had, I remember my mate an ex huntsman saying 'stick with me' he was on his well seasoned boy and we left them for dust :D we went where brave horses dared not go!! :D:D
I hope in a few weeks to get my laptop up and running and write something, our history and then about the less good days more recently, with pictures charting our fight and I want to list all the wonderful support that we had and thank people for it. Whether due to neoplasia or not, she had malabsorption syndrome, this can be caused by a number of things but the prognosis is not good and successful treatment is rare. I think that anything we can do to heighten awareness and research is an excellent thing for horses and their owners alike, I'm hoping that it's possible to get a magazine to publish a story and possibly raise some funds that can be donated to any futute research into the condition. Who knows, but I'd like to give it a shot x
 
Queen Bee, I've not been on here in 3/4 weeks, and having read your recent threads I am in tears for you.

I think you have been incredibly brave and I am so very sorry for your loss.

Having read your other threads on your horses and in particular, the one about Ebony last autumn, it shone through just how much you care for horses and how lucky they are to have you.

I hope you and your gorgeous Ben can pull each other through this and go on to have a long, loving and fantastic relationship together.

All my love x

To place your horse's need for you to let him leave his failing body above your need to keep him with you - that - is the greatest and purest love.

Ok one last thought... Trying desperately to stop you lot crying... I suspect that the buoyant nature I'm feeling is probably some form of hysteria but it's not bad so I'm going with it :) anyhow, my fantastic friend Kerstein who was there to scoop me up and put me back together so I could deal with Ben has just text me. Now kerst had had and loved a few horses, but her special boy, horse of a lifetime was Granville, an ex racer turned hunt horse who was retired to her, he was pts a year ago to the day that we said goodbye to ebony. Anyway, so, kerst just text wishing me love from some fab people that we know and she then basically said some really mushy stuff and said I still miss my boy but it does get easier, I still talk to him when I need to and I'm sure he's close to me, I know that one say when the time comes I will be back with him riding bareback through the clouds and you and ebony will be too...
I replied (and I defy you not to laugh) "if I'm going to see ebony when I die then I'm taking my bates elevator to heaven because the xxxxxxer won't let me ride her bareback... I'll end up on my ass!"

To which I got a text back saying... "u nob"

My girl may have been beautiful and graceful but she was still a spirited diva nicknamed the devil! :eek: ;) :D and THAT was what I love about her, so laughter god damn u, laugh x

Now I'm half laughing and half bawling :p Bates elevator!? Ooh dreamy :D

On a less hysterically giggling/sobbing note, I'm glad you have so many beautiful photos and memories of the beautiful girly :) xx
 
Such a beautiful post for a beautiful girl, what a darling mare she was :)

The same day you lost your Ebony, a little foal was born at my yard. If he grows up to be as much loved as Ebs, he will be lucky indeed.

I missed your other thread QB and didn't know... I'm sorry to hear the news... She certainly was a rather gorgeous girl who'll always hold a very special place in your heart...

It's often bandied around loosely but I know for myself there's some truth in it... Time... It certainly doesn't heal wounds but it does let them scab over so they're not quite so raw...

You fought hard but sometimes, all the fighting, all the willpower and all the wanting or hoping just isn't able to alter the path we don't want to follow... Not because it wasn't enough, just because it couldn't... Take a little time and be kind to yourself...
 
lovely pic, great sharing
