Had our horse put to sleep this morning

I watched the end of The Horse of the Year tonight and Matt Baker recited "The Ode to the Horse," which closes the show every year.. I always find it very moving and I start to well up. This year I thought of Primrose53 and I was tearier than ever.

Oh thank you for your kind thoughts Magenta8.
We are slowly getting along without her but she has left a massive hole. We are sorting out feed, salt licks, haylage, rugs etc and finding good homes for anything useful to others. It’s especially sad for my daughter.😢

So sorry. I am pleased that there was someone she trusted with her and that she was loved until the end, RIP.

So sorry 🥰Primrose, the end of an era for your family. So glad you had a kind and understanding vet, it makes all the difference. Thinking if you

So sorry to hear this, I had ponies when I was young, but never had to take the sad decision. However, I have said goodbye to three dogs,luckily my DH was still in practice and he put them to sleep. Your horse sounds wonderful.

My heart goes out to you and your family Primrose. It's so hard to let them go on, but what a great age she made. I'm glad she got to go in a peaceful way with her family. Big hugs to you and yours. xx

So sorry Primrose. Sounds like a loving goodbye with lots of compassion and tenderness. Rest in peace dear four legged friend x

So sorry for the loss of uour daughter's horse. No matter the amimal or their age they are part of the family. I still miss my dog Max after 3 years,even although I knew it was right thing to do. It still hurts. Big hugs to you all. ❤️💙💜

So sad to read this Primrose please accept my sincere condolences….x

So sorry that you've lost your very dear horse, Primrose x

So sorry to hear this. I know how you must be feeling. I lost my old horse some years ago but I still remember the day he was PTS, vividly. It is soul destroying to lose a close pet. I had my boy from a foal until he was 26. I was 11 when I had him so he had been in my life for such a long time. I didn't know what I would do without him. I have always loved horses and I am fortunate to be able to spend time with my friend's horses so I can still enjoy them, but my old boy will always be 'the one'. Hope you can rest easy knowing your girl had a good life.

So sorry Primrose

It is really sad when one’s pet comes to the end of its life.
I used to ride when younger although my mother had quite a few horses.
Tilly, my son’s family cat was also put to sleep this week as she had cancer of the lungs and also would not eat. She was a stray kitten when they were on a two year contract working in Doha around 1910. She kept coming to the apartment they were renting. They kept her and paid to bring her back with them to NZ.

Oh Primrose I'm so sorry to read this. You must be broken hearted. Sending you a hug. xx

When my much loved black lab was pts the vet was so kind snd gentle, he said it was the last act of love I could do for my friend. I have had many cats pts, I remember them all and still miss them . Animals( large or small) can find a way into our hearts.

We have had this horse for about 24 years. It will leave a huge hole in all our lives.

When we had our little grey pony put to sleep before her, she was buried in the field. It was like something from the Waltons or a Disney film. Two Jacob sheep and another pony all stood round her grave with their heads hanging down just staring at the spot. Never seen anything like it. 😢

So sorry to hear this Primrose.

I cried for a week when my mare went my daughter had her picture painted i cant even put it on the wall without crying

Oh Primrose, my heart feels for you!!our pets are such an integral part of our lives and give unconditional love (well, most of them do!). A very special hug from Suffolk🤗

I'm glad that you, and Elless💐, had such kind and thoughtful vets.

You are feeling specially sad that there are no more horses for you and your DH. Sometimes the forward look can seem empty.

So sorry to hear this. Thinking of you and your family.
