Just over a week ago now, I had to say goodbye to Duke. He was fine one day and the next he had a severe bout of colic and after the vet doing everything she could, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go.
He would have been just 10 yrs old in April this year. We bought him when he was almost 3. A truly amazing horse and an amazing friend, I cant quite believe he's gone, it just doesn't seem right. His vets bill arrived today and seeing his name on the top seems so wrong. he was a horse in a million and we will always love him and miss him forever.
They say memories are golden Well Mabe that is true We never wanted memories We only wanted you If tears could build a stairway And heartache make a lane I would walk the path to heaven And bring you back again.
Good night Duke, rest peacefully my friend x
