It is with great sadness that I have had to say goodbye to my best friend, Chantilly Lady, (Anglo Arab x Cleveland Bay), after 17 years together she was quietly put to sleep on Friday the 21st May 2010 aged 28, she went to sleep in her huge field, laid in the long grass & buttercups, under the evening sun, I was fortunate enough to be able to lie with her & hold her & stroke her beautiful face until she had gone.

Some of you may remember her from the shows, where she brought me so much enjoyment & success & taught me all I know.

I am totally devastated but also, at the same time I am remembering ALL our good times, and there were plenty of those!!!

RIP my beautiful & precious lady. You are already sadly missed by many, see you at Rainbow Bridge old girl.xxxxxxxxxxxxx

My eyes are filling up with tears as I read your message. I am so sorry for your loss. The following poem really helped me when I lost my mare at the beginning of the year, Ihope it might give you some comfort too:

I'll lend you for a little while
My grandest foal, He said.
For you to love while she's alive
And morn for when she's dead.
It may be one or twenty years,
Or days or months, you see.
But, will you, till I take her back
Take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief
You'll have treasured memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But, there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
With trust I have selected you.
Now will you give her your total love?
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come
To take her back again?
I know you'll give her tenderness
And love will bloom each day.
And for the happiness you've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for her
Much sooner than you'd planned
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday you'll understand.
For though I'll call her home to Me
This promise to you I do make
For all the love and care you gave
She'll wait for you, inside Heaven's Gate.

RIP Lovely Lady xx

So very sorry for your loss, your sadness has filled me with tears. How lovely though, that she drifted away in such a beautiful place with you beside her.

RIP Chantilly Lady X

Very sad, but a wonderful way to go in your own field with your loving owner beside you. Sending healing wishes though I am sure that the wonderful memories you hold will give you great solace, until you meet your beautiful girl again.

Oh Leanne I'm so sorry. She was a grand old lady and very lucky to have shared her life with you. I'm sure she loves you and would thank you for doing the right thing by her.

I still have Perissa too - in a mahogany box with her name on and her gold plated shoe.

RIP Chantilly Lady

Thanks Vera,

The memories make the loss easier to bear thankfully, I have her last shoe, how did you get it gold plated? that sounds amazing!! one of her (many) nicknames was Princess Tippy Toes because she was always so ladylike & spoilt rotten, being waited on hand & hoof like a princess!! so, a gold plated shoe would be very fitting!!

thanks for your support!! xxx

I am so sorry for your loss, time is a great healer.

How was she bred if you dont mind me asking, its that my old stallion Gabriel had a grand or great grand daughter named similar.

RIP Chantilly Lady.

What a shame - I remember her well - but I didn't realise she was a Cleveland Bay X. She was a grand old lady and lucky to have such a devoted owner. Would that all could end their lives in such a peaceful way.
