I don't doubt for one minute that you haven't considered all the options before making this decision! It takes a true horse lover and owner to put the needs of their horses before their own!...and that is exactly what you're doing!
Big cyber hugs on there way to you, take care! I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. xx

Thinking of you and sending hugs for tomorrow..
So much kinder to do it before they start to suffer, I had to do the same with my old boys and it hurt like hell but knowing they didn't suffer helped me no end. Your doing what's best for your horse.

....... been there and done that for my old boy back in 1998 Jen,... i too went through all the options and made the decision that i wouldn't put my beloved soulmate through a Winter, just to have to very probably make the decision come the Spring.
It's the kindest and most unselfish last gift you can give to her Jen (as i did to my boy),.. and hurts like hell, i know,... but it's the right decision.... and one of the bravest any horse man or woman has to make....
Be thinking of you all through the weekend.....
Amber xxxxxxx

I'm so sorry to hear this, Jen. It's the downside of being a loving, thoughtful owner and I'm sure the thoughts of your many DG friends will be supporting you from afar tomorrow. ((BIG HUGS))

Oh Jen, massive hugs to you. You're doing the right thing. Just before I lost Aubs, and was hating myself for having to make the decision, someone, on here, said to me better a day too early than a day too late. Its so true. You know the time is right, let her leave with some dignity. You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow. lots and lots of love, words just dont seem enough........ xxxxxx
