yesterday was the worst day of my life
i lost my beloved pony who was 24
i had owned her and adored her for 20 years and she was my life and my everything and my whole reason for living
she had had tumours and melanomas for years and I knew they would get her in the end. It came on very sudden and in less than 24 hours she went from happy cheeky pony to dead.
in some ways I'm relieved that she was spared months of suffering
but my heart is broken 🙁
can anyone tell me how to get through this
I know someday we'll be together again and I know she will always be in my heart but it hurts so much 🙁

Poor Bogie
I am really sorry to learn of your sad loss. It is devastating to lose a friend, especially after so many years together.
It must be a relief though that she passed so quickly and didn't suffer, although it is hard on you.
I don't think you ever get over the loss, you just live with it, time makes it more bearable and the pain lessens, but you never forget. (I have lost three horse friends and I know how I felt after each of their passing)
You must have some wonderfull memories to call on though? keep tight hold of those, they'll help you through.

HI
Its hard when a pet/friend/animal dies and those without pets dont understand that they become part of the family.
When you have cared for and loved an animal your whole life and they go it leaves a massive gap in your life but you should take comfort that you did the best and cared for your pony for 20 years - as JoyceJ says - you will never forget but time does heal the pain.
My dog honey was put down last year and before that Pepper was. I never thought I get over them - you do but it does take time. I still have their photos and think about them and I know that I gave them the best thing in life - a home and unconditional love.
Take care

Hi Bogie!
I am so sorry about your pony and oh yes, I do understand. We had to sell our beloved horse last October and the same week she went to her new owner, her little ancient comapnion pony had to be put down on my birthday. It was the worst birthday I have ever had and I cried and cried. I still miss our lovely horse, too. It is as though a piece of me has been torn out. time does make things better.

RE: yesterday i lost my pony
oh i am sorry,
a friendship/life with a horse is something quite amazing.
i have a very old pony who has been out a grass for years, he is very arthritic and generally not very well due to old age and i don't think he will last another winter.
i am faced with the prospect of calling in the vet as i am going to be away for 6 months and i can't bear anyone else to have to do it for me or me not to be there.
take heart in that you had a wonderful life with her for 20 years

Hi Bogie,
I know how you are feeling, my thoughts are with you and my heart goes out to you

Big hugs coming your way and echo everyone else, she was a very lucky pony to have such a loving owner for her whole life.
Would you like to post on the Rainbow Bridge thread?

Bless you[sm=hug.gif]
My heart goes out to you as I know how painful the loss of a beloved cherished pet is.
Please take comfort knowing your lovely horse is safe in the spirit world now and just as playful as she alway was when she was here with you.
It was simply just her time to go home.
Don't try and block out the pain your feeling, but accept that you are going to miss your friend and in my experience I found that you never get over losing a loved one (human or animal)but you simply get used to them not being there physically but knowing they are safe in the Spirit World helps big time.

I'm really sorry to hear this....next month it'll be a year since I had my beautiful mare PTS. She was my life also and taught me sooooo much it was due to her I went down this path. She's on my website (the nirvanasprings one) she was beautiful and VERY wise. She was talking to me whilst she was PTS and still was after and the days leading upto. The synchronisities and signs she sent were amazing.
