Had our horse put to sleep this morning

So sad. Hold on to all the memories. X

I’m so sorry Primrose

That's so sad. But you've done the right thing.
I've had to say goodbye to 'old friends' recently and it's hardbreaking - my daughter and I wept buckets but it was the right thing to do and there were lots of happy memories to remember - though I still fill up occasionally

Vets are v compassionate, they hate putting animals to sleep. 😥

Deepest sympathy to you. This is a big loss.
We are a family who have had Horses, it heartbreaking when they go. 💐

💐💐💐Genuinely feel so sad for you, I am still coming to terms with having my beautiful golden retriever PTS two weeks ago. The vet was fantastic she came to our house and even brought a lovely basket adorned with white flowers to take her away. It's an awful thing to go through.

Primrose53 I'm literally in tears here.

I'm so very sorry about your lovely lady horse, and also about your husband's horse, too.

RIP, both gorgeous horses, fly over the Rainbow Bridge, but remember you'll forever be loved and remembered. X X

It’s terribly sad when we lose a beloved pet, especially after you had the horse for over 30 years. Your daughter will be bereft. So sorry. 🥀

Such very sad news, Primrose. Horses are a very important part of our family. You gave her the very best life. Take comfort and heart from the happy memories and many photos. 💐

Primrose, I'm so sorry to hear this, what a loss. I am glad that the end went smoothly and the vet was kind.

So sorry for your loss. Take comfort that you did the best thing for her and you have given her a wonderful life.x

Sad news Primrose.

It’s sorry but a good age in a loving home.
My daughter’s miniature Shetland , only 8, recently cut a leg and damaged the tendon. The vet immediately said the choice was expensive surgery or euthanasia. Off she went to a fabulous equine hospital for an operation and a week’s nursing. The girls there adored her and her care was hugely better than we would get under the NHS.
All the time she was away her companion called for her and now they are together again for her long recovery.
I hope this story gives you a little smile, Primrose.

Thank you, that’s lovely and did make me smile! I hope she has made a full recovery.

We had a small grey pony when my daughter was younger and she cut her leg badly when she got it stuck in a hay net and then shot away dragging a large piece of fencing with her! Our vet did a great job and she lived many more years.

very sorry to hear your sad news Primrose, it's heartbreaking to lose a much loved animal

I'm sorry to hear about your horse, Primrose, 30+ years is a very good age and she was obviously much loved by you all.

It's very hard to lose a beloved animal.

I'm so sorry, but so glad you've got lots of photographs to remember her by

I love horses. This is is so sad for you 💐

Oh Primrose you will all be sorrowful. These animals we grow to love take a tiny piece of our hearts when they leave us.

That is sad Primrose, especially as you tell us it's the end of an era. But what a lucky horse, to have been kept in comfort and care, until her natural time to go.

Indeed, Maremia.
So sorry Primrose on the loss of a beloved animal.
The attitude of the vet matters so much and wonderful that he/she was obviously both professional and kind.

Sad news

So very sorry for you all. No matter what the animal is, they are family.

That's very sad Primrose.
You must all be devastated. 💐
