Why have horses if you don't even like them?!?

No one on here will ever get fed up with your posts, many of us have been there already and the rest are dreading the day they get there.

Since reading what happened I have given my horses a hug every day and told them I love them. I have just taken on an old pony who is pretty thin so I got the vet to do his teeth and they were so bad she didn't think they had ever been done! He is 20+!! she took off the sharp edges and the dentist is coming next week to try and sort the rest. Every time he sees me he whinnys now, I think he appreciates me. It made me so cross that someone would neglect him so badly tho!
Somewhere when you are ready there is another horse waiting for the love you will be able to give it, don't rush you will find each other when it's time.

Have my share of Ben and Jerrys, I'm lactose intolerant!
 
I'm already feeling emotional (I'm not well and have had no voice all week, my mare is at Newmarket with Sue Dyson, and I am faced with a yard move and house move before Christmas) and I have just been so touched by your post, Fallen Angel. What lovely words, all so true, and lump in my throat now.

When you read some of the ranting tosh on here sometimes, or watch as people pick each other apart, it really is nice to know there are decent, caring human beings out there.

This has really put a smile on my face thank you.

I must admit everyone one here has been so supportive as I think a lot of people have been through similar things.

Saw said girl today who was riding her horse, shock horror! I asked her what she was doing and she said ohh just going round the village I haven't got time to do anything else, I'm sorry but when you have horses you make time!! :mad:

Had a worse day today though, failed my driving test this morning :( it really put me on a downer and we went to visit our vet today to say thank you and ask about future plans with fields etc and he's recommended we move yards, we can't move yards until I can drive so were in a bit of a rut :/

Fallenangel- When I leave the house in the mornings I make sure Is ay goodbye to everyone in my family and say how much I love them even if we've been fighting as you just never know what might happen.

Thank you again everyone it really does help venting my feelings on here, I still can't talk about him in RL without crying but I can write about him now me and my mum felt very silly bursting into tears at the vets this morning.
 
I know this feeling more than most...

My first mare, and the horse who will always be the "love of my life", was a rescue case I loaned from the ILPH. We were told she was a gift, but due to an incident with a now ex-staff member, we recieved a letter from Brig. Parker Bowles telling us her true history.
She had been left in a field to starve.
Sadly, during her abuse, she ate ragwort. We knew then that it was only a matter of time before she left us.

Twice I bought her back from the brink of death. And because of it we had a bond like no other. But it killed me knowing eventually her abuse would catch up with her.

She died of colic, aged only 20. They had to hold me back as she was PTS. She knew she was loved and always will be.

I'm glad, in some way. She died of something else, something not related to her liver damage (at one point she had multiple organ failure :( ). And I know she'll never know abuse ever again.
A reading I had done on her told me where she is now, she is happy and wants for nothing.

However, I will never get my head around how someone could hate the same horse I love so much, that they almost starved her to death.

It's made me so wary with Dorey. I would put the needle in her neck myself to save her what Carrie went through.

And if it helps, I'm crying now, and it is over 7 and a half years since Carrie went to sleep. You never get over losing the best.
