With flowing tail, and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscarred by spur or rod, A thousand horse, the wild, the free, Like waves that follow o'er the sea.
Lord Byron
Nikki....enjoy them all over Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sad to hear this, I loved her threads and the updates on Lonas return to the wild...
My thoughts are with you and your daughter Justin...it must be a very hard time for you...

This is the most terrible news. Hard to take in.
Nikki was a dear friend , both on the DG and in real life when she visited Hampshire to see her mother and brother.
My thoughts are with you Justin, and with all your family. I will be in touch.
Love from Ann and Family x

You will all be in my prayers tonight.

I have had a couple of pm's from kind people wondering about flowers, or donations to charities. The answer is I don't know really, I have emailed Justin and if he gets a chance to look and reply I'll let you know xx Bearing in mind the copy of the IHDG Cookbook that was on Nikki's kitchen table, maybe it could even be our appeal for the year, but if I find out anything I will let you know.

May you always walk in sunshine and God's love around you flow Nikki, For the happiness, support, comfort and friendship you gave us all, no one will ever know. It breaks our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone; As part of us has gone with you, the day God called you home. You will be so very sorely missed Nikki and always in our hearts.
love and heartfelt thoughts going out to you all All my love Veronica xxxx

Oh my word.
I am so, so sorry, Justin. I have enjoyed so much chatting to Nikki in Wakey Wakey and in "the lounge bar"; hearing of her life in Italy and her horses; the return of Lona; exploits on the transhumance.. well, everything. She will be missed.
I am sending you and your children lots of love and prayers. Here is one of my favourite poems.. for Nikki
Peace my heart...
Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet. Let it not be a death but completeness. Let love melt into memory and pain into songs. Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest. Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night. Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence. I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.
~Rabindranath Tagore
