Goodbye Britta My Old Horse

[dianed]

This morning I had to have my 32 yo horse Britta pts. I got left with her after my daughter moved out many years ago. She had a good life her on the farm, she would wonder down our long drive around 6pm without fail to spend the night cuddled up with her mates on the adjoining property, then back home around 6 am to have breakfast. She had done this for over 10 years but yesterday life suddenly go too much for her old body. Hope you catch up with your old mate Bambi bye Britty xx ;)

Thanks everyone, it was a bit of a shock to loose her like that. I knew she was getting on in years and I,d kept her in good condition but it was a ruptured disc in her back that did her in. At least she could still eat and had a whole bucket of food before the vet arrived.

Yes they do but I,m at peace with it because she had a happy retirement, we seem to think she may have been a bit older as well maybe 35. Not everyone is willing to take in an old horse and make their final years comfortable so when the time comes you can take comfort in the fact that you did .

Old age sucks, atm I have a soon to be 13 yo dog and 14.6yo cat both sound asleep on their heated beds

I also lost my old 30+ year old boy earlier this year... and I still cry when I think of him. He left a big gaping hole that I don't think will ever be closed. I grew up with him. I hope Britta can find my Storm Boy and old Danny - they will keep her safe and happy.

RIP Britta.

dianed so sorry to see you have had to have your beloved horse Pts I can fully understand how you must be feeling as we had to have our beautiful old horse Pts 2 years ago after being bitten by a brown snake, and to far gone to help.

he ws 26 we had him for 13 of those wonderfull years, he was an ex pacer and would have gone to the doggers if we had not rescued him.

our German Shepherd adored him.
