RIP my beloved girl

[Constrictor Girl]

Hey all

This is the most painful loss I have had to deal with to date.
This stunning girl is my thoroughbred polocrosse pony. Her and I have been together for a few years but she has sarcoid which is an under lying cancer of the blood. Early last year she had billary, which was odd as she was the only horse on the farm to get sick, and she didnt have any visable ticks on her. This set off the sarcoid and she started deteriorating from there. At the begining of December she started showing signs of liver failure, so I spent as much time on the farm with her as I could. Just sitting in the field with her, taking her favourite treats to her, grooming her as often as I could. Just all in all giving her as much love as I possibly could.
I decided to have her put down on the 2nd January as I felt it was her time and I didn't want her getting more sick than she already was.
She has done so much for my confidence and she was my whole world. Site was really a horse in a million and she will be sorely missed. Polocrosse was very much her thing, and every Sunday morning I would go to the stables at 6am to feed and prep her for practise, that was our special time. I loved getting her ready for the day and just having that quiet time with her.
I am totally shattered and devasted.
Site my girl, RIP, I will always love and miss you baby girl.

I am so sorry for your loss - I can imagine it was a very tough decision, but a very brave one to make.

That is sad. She looked like a really decent horse. I can understand that you would miss her.

Thanks for the messages guys.
@BV she was more than descent, she took me up 3 handicaps in a year which is pretty much unheard of. You normaly go one handicap a year and maybe 2 if you are playing alot of tournaments etc. This little girl played her heart out for me.
