4th May 1976 to 16th October 2006
Just to say I had to say goodbye to a very special friend on this day 16th October 2006. Fred had been with me since he was a yearling and I was a 16yrs old brat of a teenager - he saw me through thick and thin and was always there - this was the hardest day of my life so far and I just wanted to say thank you my friend you were the best and I hope Rainbow Bridge has lots of grass. "From baby to full grown we watched each other grow through thick and thin we were always there for each other never once did you leave me for pastures new and always there I could turn to you now you have joined your lady love may your aches and pains be ones of the past I look at your pictures and miss you so much one last kiss and hug I would ask 29 years of faithfullness one could ask no more May you stay close to and watch over me until we meet again and look after your lady whom you loved so much now you are together again I have comfort in that but your stable feels empty but I have to let go it just that is it difficult because I loved you so. I will love you forever xxxxx mummy If there are angels in heaven then you will be one I will watch for your wings xxxxxx

Wow - what a lucky lad to have had such a nice long time with you. 29 years - if only all horses could be so lucky to be in the same loving home nearly all their lives. You must miss him terribly.
RIP Fred. x

what lovely pictures and what a handsome horse. Such a nice long life together but he must have been a very healthy and happy horse to have all those wonderful years together.
RIP Fred

Hi J Yes we had a long happy and healthy life together. Unfortunately he had a tie back in 1987 which did not work well and left him dust allergic and somewhat asmatic but we managed to cope well but he bowed out gracefully from eventing and we just enjoyed each other from then on doing cross country jumping which he loved and long distant riding which was great as he had such a long stride and always very comfortable to ride. He was a very special boy.

Hi Wills
Many thanks for your thoughts I miss him terribly and so do all my others - they are still very clingy when I am in the field and always walk past where he is buried with their heads lower as if in a mark of respect for a special special man. My one comfort is that he is with our baby who we lost two years ago they were devoted to each other as I bred the mare and she had been with Fred since she was weaned and never parted. I would like to imagine the renuion joyous for them both.
