On the 20th February 2012 I lost one of my best friends. After a good, long, life we couldn’t save you this time from colic – I’m sorry big guy, we tried all we could. You are pain free now. No more suffering or hurt.
You were an amazing horse, Bob, you taught me so much about how to ride, love and trust. You were my Magic Man’s best friend and always will be. He misses you just like I do. I had cuddles with him this morning and we talked about you and the wonderful fun times you gave us both. Baby Joey doesn’t quite understand as you didn’t know him for long but I’m sure he will miss you babysitting him when Magic goes out to parties.
I will always remember the first time I sat on you, Bob, you were a pickle, start how you mean to go on hey!! You always had your quirky side. Whenever I see a dustbin I sure am going to think of you. You hated those things I could always guarantee you would be prancing past them sideways.
You really were a head turner wherever you went. You were a grand looking horse with such presence; presence which is greatly missed. I know you are still with us though in spirit, the sun shone on your stable this morning and I know it was you there looking down on us all. Magic is going to need to know you are there more than ever as he is sad. I can tell by his mannerisms he is sad and missing you.
Bob, I want to thank you for making me smile when I really didn’t feel like smiling. I loved how you would follow me around the field and those big black eyes of yours which showed such kindness and contentment. Your warm soft skin was so lovely to snuggle into, especially on a cold winter’s morning. You always made me feel safe and complete. I know in time I shall look at your pictures that hang on the wall and smile again. I can’t express how much I miss you and hurt right now – but I am glad it is me hurting and not you anymore.
Sleep tight my big guy, you rest in peace. I hope you have found Squidge and my Grandad up there and will be waiting for me.
Love you with all my heart - Gone but never, ever forgotten.
