To all my horsey ( and non horsey ) friends.

Last week on Monday, I lost my beautiful Welsh sec D mare. She was 22 years old, and suffering for several weeks with worsening laminitis and Cushings disease.

I made the heartbreaking decision to have her PTS, after she deteriorated fast over the weekend, and it looked like she was going to loose a hoof.

So, this is to Lucy ( aka Beaky ) - to me, you were the best horse in the world. The kindest, most beautiful, perfect for me in every way, and I will always remember you. Thank you for all the good times together, for all the rides we had, and for all the times I came to the field in tears, and left with a smile. I am missing you.

So sorry to hear this Razee.

It's always the hardest decision to put an animal to sleep, but you made the right decision for Lucy!

It is the worst and most difficult decision you ever have to make, but it is also one of the most loving.

Thoughts are with you.

Wheels has put it perfectly Razee. I can't begin to imagine how you're feeling but, having ridden many years ago until my health stopped me, I do know the bond between horse and rider. So much more than non-horsey people can understand.

She was blessed to have you as her partner, as were you.
