| I know its still very sad but i just wanted to people to know that if I even suspected she was going to have an awful end I'd buy her immediately regardless of age/health problems/personal situation and put her to rest myself. |

Agree with you Pat...the best place for this regal old Lady is to stay right where she is now. She looks to be in good condition and is getting all the love, care and companionship
by her new found friend. As Pheebs says, as and when her time comes, she will cross the Rainbow Bridge peacefully and with dignity.
What more could we wish for a mare who has given many years pleasure and is now reaping the reward of a happy and relaxed retirement with her guardian angel taking care of her.
Big hugs for you Pheebs, you are doing a sterling job and I am sure that wonderful old lady appreciates her time spent in your company being cossetted and loved.

| I understand, I had my old TB PTS in the field and would do the same for Zarello, Cornwall is a long way for a horse with Arthritis to travel, I suppose that it is something we all have to face one day, and that death is inevitable for every living thing.. I am sure she will know nothing of it, and is enjoying your love and attention xx |

| What im enjoying is that she used to watch every move i made and now I can potter around her without her having a care in the world. She's always happy to nuzzle me (she can get her neck right round me like a big horsey hug aha!) and loves a good scratch. I have been warned once more "not to get attatched" but to be honest I think I'd have to be heartless not to. |

Such a shame that not all horses get to have a good friend like you through their final summer, and I agree it would be impossible not to get too attached and no doubt you will shed a bucket load of tears but would you have it any other way? I get leaky eyes just thinking about it.
I'm hoping to take on an older lady -I'm going to see her tomorrow- and seeing your original post was what made my mind up as I would have loved to give her a home but being so far away it would have been too much to ask of her, like everything in life it's a bit of a gamble but she needs a home and I have a bit of space in the field and............ enough said as getting really soppy now. Good luck and enjoy those big horsey hugs as long as they last. |

| Very sad news and I know how upset you must be, but at least you had a lovely few months together. She is so like our Jim the Cob - maybe they will find each other over the Rainbow Bridge. |
