I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you're going through right now, but I wanted to thank you for sharing Gramma Pony with us for all these years. I wish every horse could have such a long and fulfilling life and such a dedicated and loving owner.

Liz, what can I possibly say???
I have stood where you are standing, and I shall do so again, possibly soon, with Rabbit, and I know how your heart aches.
She is waiting, now, the door is open, I think it may be up to you to help her go through, and that is the hardest thing of all, and yet we know, when we take on the joy of these creatures that there will also be tears.
This is not something you have to do alone, we are all there with you, whether you can see us or not.
Gramma is not alone, either, she can already see where she is going, and I think she may be ready to leave.
Part of her will always be with you, but you have to let her body go.
God Bless.

I am so sorry, Liz. I have an Argentina foundation Falabella mare who is 26 years old and whose sire Napoleon lived to be 41. She is like your Gramma Pony and spends many days just napping silently but when there are foals in the field she is high spirited and the quickest to babysit. I have an inkling of what you are feeling but have yet to come as far as you have with your dear sweet horse. You have been a great friend to a great lady. God Bless you both.

It is decided.
Dr. Hunter will be here between ten a.m. and noon (jeez, could two hours ever BE any longer).
We discussed the options, but her multiple organ failure, her age and then trying to determine what instigated the hyperlipidemic situation she's now in are all stacked against us.
She is...ready.
It's a drizzly, nasty day and so I think (not 100% on this) she will stay in her stall with her family around her. I never pictured it this way. I hope I didn't wait too long.
THANK YOU....all that you have said (and not) are welcomed, the silent vigil of those that have, and those that hope not to (formerly a member of that club, myself, but initiated today)....thanks...

Oh, Liz......It must so hard watching her fading like that......... Have you let her know that when she's ready, it's okay to "let go" ?
There is a beautiful little filly waiting for a babysitter on the Other Side. You'll probably think I'm nuts, but I see her standing on the slope leading into the lush green valley. I think she knows that Gramma is going to be with her soon.

Ahhhh Liz,,,
I am sorry. I was up early hoping to hear some good news. If she is ready, then it must be time. You have done all you can. Give yourself a break. You have the best horsie Mama to her that she could have ever wanted. And even when we are lucky and eke out a few more years, months or days, it is NEVER enough. Please call if you need anything.

Liz, it's with tears in my tears that I tell you I feel so horrible you had to make this decision.
I think it is the great capacity of your love, for her, that will get you thru this.
Letting them go, when they are ready is the final act of love.
All of who she has been, will stay in your heart forever.
Take care.

So sorry Liz - I have had tears several times today and do so once again. I've never met you and/or Gramma, but my heart is breaking for you. Try to get a little comfort in that you are able to do this for her now that she is ready. I know there will be a huge hole in your heart, but she'll be up there babysitting others and will have no more pain and suffering.
God bless you for all the good you have done this precious mare.

Liz,
My condolences to you. Now, when you get to heaven, you both can cross the rainbow bridge together.
Don't Cry for the Horses, By Brenda Seymore
That life has set free A million white horses Forever to be Don’t cry for the horses Now in God's hands As they dance and they prance To a heavenly band They were ours as a gift But never to keep As they close their eyes Forever to sleep Their spirits unbound On silver wings they fly A million white horses Against the blue sky Look up into heaven You'll see them above The horses we lost The horses we loved Manes and tails flowing They gallop through time They were never yours They were never mine Don't cry for the horses They will be back someday When our time has come They will show us the way Do you hear that soft nicker Close to your ear Don’t cry for the horses Love the ones that are here

Liz I'm sooo sorry you had to say goodby. From that picture though it appears that she was indeed ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge. She'll be in her element caring for all the foals who have gone before her. Here's wishing you a speedy journey Gramma Pony. You were greatly loved.

Dear Liz, Gramma Pony was so lucky to be with and your family, what a life
From your picture she looks like she is ready.
Bonnie would be able to tell you but you know. I feel your pain. She will be in your heart always and that is priceless.
{{{hugs}}}
I remember when we came to your place many years ago and got to meet her

So sorry Liz
grandma pony will be a huge loss to you and we all join you in the loss
she has gained alot of fame on the forum here and she is very loved by us all.
Your future foals will miss her company, but there are many 2008 foals
over the rainbow bridge who will benifit from her love. How they will enjoy their Granma Pony.
It is with tears in my eyes that I send you a great big hug, and I can't say I know your loss
But at least she has left you wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
Love and hugs
Lori

Liz, you've done so much for Gramma Pony, and this is the last gift you can give her, doing what is right for her, and so difficult for you. Gramma is so lucky to have you.
