Scattered the Horses ashes tonight

[blackolive (Ste)]

River has been sat on the dresser in the hall while I decided what to do with him.

When we rescued them back, back in 2016, the yard they were on had 40 odd acres, and they were left out in the summer, Him and ebony absolutely loved it, and I loved going down the fields giving them a night check.

Ebony went last year about this time, and had a chat with the daughter what to do with them.

So theyve gone into the old brook behind the far end of the fields, River showed me it was the right place as his tail hair was still on his old scratching tree.

It was a special last goodbye to them, and Ive writted them a powem

We laid you both to rest today upon a sunny eve.
On an ancient babbling brook behind your favourite tree.
(It was the place for you to go, your tail hair showed to me)
You’ll meander on together through the farmlands to the sea.
In time you’ll be the rain the clouds the wind and sunlight on the sea
Ive loved the times Ive cared for you and know you both loved me,
But its time to say goodbye now, fare well my loves be free

Sad but very nice at the same time, a very natural event and done with respect and class

Our “love” reaction is a bit wrong for situations like this but as it’s the only one we have, I’ve used it.
By far the hardest part of owning any animal is when you say the final goodbye to them. Oddly, I’ve grieved more over some of our pets than I did over my parents.

100%

Glad it’s not just me. I’ve cried buckets over dogs we’ve lost and still get teary now, years later, if I’m reminded.
Was chatting to one of the girls at work the other morning about dogs we’d lost and we both ended up welling up.
