After 18 years together, we had to say goodbye - at the age of 24 she is now galloping in the elysian fields.

I’m so sorry xx

So sorry. I used to love hearing about your trips to Tuscany to see her. Were you with her when she went over the bridge?

Sadly not - I last saw her in October and she had lost weight and condition quickly since June - really looking her age

she went downhill suddenly in the new year - as soon as I heard she was in difficulty I told them to get the vet in -

This was my last photo of her, we had put in in a little paddock - her other one was to steep for her to manage easily - but at least she could have her fly rug on without the other horses trying to bite it!

so very sad, my old boy is 31 now and I keep hoping he can continue for a bit longer. Hugs.
