Memories...?

[x.fat-pony.x]

How about a section for people to post their tributes/memories of their horses?
Things like photos, poems and stories of their lives - I know I would like to do a tribute to a horse I loved that was recently pts, and to share it with all the kind and lovely people here on NR. I'm sure others would like to do the same :)

[Trewsers]

Yes, I think that is a nice idea.

[Afellpony]

That would be a nice idea.

[xxxkristinaxxx]

[Colour_Crazy_Gi]

[mayoguinness]

yes I think that might work well:)

[Sammii]

Yes I do think that would be a good use of a forum. Something which would stay forever so it can always be viewed :)

I would have a story i'd like to input, definitely x

Nice idea. They have one on the IH Forum - the only problem is I start crying whenever I read anything in there:o I mean, proper sobbing:o

[Afellpony]

That would be nice.

That would be really sweet. Nice idea.

Thanks everyone for your replies and thoughts on this.
Wonder what the mods think? Good idea or not so good? :)

I like it! You can see my big soppy post in Cafe for my beloved Cheeky. It'll be gone in a couple of weeks, but I've archived it in my LiveJournal. But I'm just one mod out of many, depends on what they think too. :)

I think its a good idea, but does it have to be just about horses ... suppose its a horsey forum, but what about rabbits? :o

[Afellpony]

I think it would be a nice idea if other pets could be included.

[x.fat-pony.x]

I guess there could be like a sub-section, to include other pets if wanted :)

[CurlyWurlyRach]

aww what a beautiful idea :)

Awwww :( ((hugs)) for your cavalier
Well, I was thinking, you know like the Mature riders have a sub-section for adults who ride ponies?
We could do the same thing - have a tribute section for horses, then a subsection for other pets!

[Afellpony]

Sugarlump, so sorry to hear about your little dog. I love those King Charles Spaniels. If I could have a dog, that's what I would have - but - I'm afraid, the cats would eat him!!!

[~*sugarlump*~]

thankyou guys :):( my honest advice would be to get a cross breed. our ltlle boy came from somthing like the second best breeder in the uk, and had deifferent blood lines, amazing family, but his heart failed him. sometimes i think its better to go for cross breeds to save from heart break :o

[vimto92]

I think thats a lovely idea.

RIP Ceri, poor boy. He was such a cutie.
:(

How does having a cross breed save from heart break?:confused:

[Afellpony]

Cross breeds tend to live longer than the pedigrees. I guess they're a bit tougher. Our pedigree cats seemed to die aroudn the 14-16 years old bracket. The oldest cat we ever had was a spayed black female and she lived until she was 24. A black moggie male (another neuter) lived until 23. The oldest pedigree we've had died at 14. My 2 British shorthairs are almost 15 now.

does anyone know if the same is true for horses? I've never really thought of it applying to horses or ponies
