RIP little man xxxx

[Zani]

RIP Loki, even those who didn't know you read your story and loved you for not just your beauty but your fighting spirit. You will be missed by lots and lots of people.

[LokiSofi]

thankyou. I feel numb at the moment and have only just calmed down. I haven't been allowed back outside and angelofages,my mum and my wonderful OH have fed the other horses.
I wasn't allowed to stay with him parents and OH wouldn't allow me to. But he was given a bucket of feed and I think he was ok. He was ok when I left him and said goodbye though looked a little confused as to why I was leaving him with strangers. :(

RIP my most beautiful baby boy. You will always be with me and I promise to take good care of the friends you have left behind.xxxxx

[Ace87]

Goodnight sweetheart. Sleep well.

All my love to you LokiSofi, thinking of you, we're all here to support you. Take care of yourself, get lots of hugs from your OH and keep people around you. I'm so sorry you had to go through this but you have been such a fabulous mum to Loki xxx

[Kis Vihar]

RIP little Loki. Gallop pain free now. Missed but not forgotten.

Take care Lokisofi.

[Skint]

Please send LokiSofi my sincere condolences, she made a very difficult and brave decision today.

[twigs]

(((((((((hugs for you))))))))))
I was out with my dogs during that time and thought of you
RIP loki xxxx

[chev]

You showed great courage today. You gave Loki every chance and let him go pain free when you had to. Horrible decision... but the right one.

(((Hugs))) Take care of yourself.

[Zayna]

Do take very good care of yourself, I hope that you all soon feel better.

Zayna x

[EnduranceAli]

Huge hugs to everyone. A horrible, but brave, decision. The pain will never go completely (crying now thinking of the elderly Sec A mare that I had to have PTS due to colic back in September 2007 - we only had her for 4 months, but at least that short time was happy and comfortable for her), but it will ease and I hope our messages will help you over the coming weeks/months.

[devonlass]

Run free little man.

Hugs to you lokisofi and am so glad you have others around you to lean on at this time.Nothing will make the pain of losing him any better,but hopefully knowing you did the right thing will make it a little easier to bear.

[Soot]

You're a strong strong person - the best owner any horse could wish for. They don't have a concept of life & death like us. Just a concept of pain ... And Loki couldn't be helped any more (((HUGS))) ... He will never be forgotten.

[georgie1]

Gallop, run & run little man RIP

Look after yourself Lokisofi.....such a brave decision and the right one.

Take care

[Vicki&Milo]

[ginny!]

R.I.P Loki:(:(

i know it was a hard decision, but it was the best for him. no doubt he will always be in your heart, but as time goes on you will see it was the best thing you could have possibly done.:)

big ((((((hugs)))))) to you and Loki's friends

[myhorseisginger]

So sorry to hear your news, I know exactly how you must be feeling having gone through it myself a month ago.

It's not been a good 4 weeks for NR horsies has it? My Lola, Jasper and now Loki :( (And anyone else's who I've not heard about)

Remember it was absolutely the right decision and he's now pain free and if he could thank you then he would.

The most horrible decision a horse owner has to make but the sadly the only option.

Time is a great healer and although you wont want it to, it does get better with time. You'll never get over it but it gets easier to cope with every week that goes by. Just keep remembering him and he'll live on with you (Cheesy but true!)

Run free little man xxx

Thinking of you xxxxxx

RIP little Loki x

[HashRouge]

You've been so brave, and at least you know that Loki isn't it pain anymore.
My heart goes out to you for the hard decision you had to make. Look after yourself xxxxxx

[Jessica23]

Awww, poor little Loki. I hope it was calm and peaceful.

RIP little man. And i hope you realise that you were doing the best thing for Loki and dont feel to terrible Lokisofi, although i suppose its inevitable that you will :-( I feel so bad for you after everything you did for him, you tried so hard. You should be proud of yourself for doing the best thing for Loki.

[heartofrainbow]

My thoughts are with you

Im glad everything went as smoothly as possible

Run free little loki xxx

[nicolawx]

R.I.P Loki. Gallop around pain free.
He was a very lucky to have you as his mum and i'm sure he would thank you for taking the pain away. My thoughts are with you at this painful time.

x.R.I.P.x Loki xxxxxxxxxx

[IAmEllie]

RIP little man. LS, I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that you've done the right thing, however hard I can only imagine it must be.

[shandy84]

There is one way we humans can show our animals the greatest respect and that is by not letting them live in pain, you have shown Loki how much you care for him I take my hat off to you, not an easy decision but the right one for Loki

[HorseManiac]

Night Loki, run free over the rainbow bridge......

RIP Loki xxx

[Kit&Holly]

Sleep well little one

[LauraGeeGee]

I didn't know Loki or his mum.

I have seen the story unfold over the past couple of weeks, just on here.
I can say, I haven't stopped thinking about them all day today and actually since the news broke of what was going to happen.

I watched the clock at work and said a little prayer this afternoon.

Loki was so lucky to have had such a loving and caring mum who had to make that dreaded decision which was ultimately the right one, for Loki.

Bless you little man Loki, run free, pain free xxxx

To Loksofi, you're a very brave Mum, don't ever think anything different.
Take care of yourself.
xx

[ellasma]

Nothing anyone says or does can bring you comfort right now, but know this - one day you'll be able to remember him without your heart breaking and you'll be proud in the knowledge that you gave him everything - you loved him with all your heart, and then you set him free. He would thank you if he could.

God bless xxx

[EmmaRotherham]

RIP Loki

Our thoughts are with you

[kat1]

Good Night God Bless Loki - thinking of you - remember that Loki will be there waiting for you one day, you have been very brave , he is free now in all ways xx

RIP Loki, you made the right decision lokisofi :(

[EmsnMaisie]

RIP Loki.

So sorry for your troubles, goodnight little Loki.

[y03mylers]

Run free over rainbow bridge Loki x

Lokisofi- like i said before, you've done a really good thing for Loki. Letting him go can't of been easy, but holding on and watching him suffer would of hurt even more. Better a day too soon than a day too late. I admire you for this and for all that you did for Loki, he couldn't of had a better mother.
Big hugs to you.
Take care of yourself, and let OH help out with sofi, bubbles & joey.
x x

[8-legged-pony]

You have done such a brave thing, I can only hope that if I'm ever in a similar situation I can be just as brave and put my horse first too. RIP Loki :(

[Ginger Thing]

The only way you could have avoided this pain you're feeling would have been by allowing him to suffer, but this sadly is the price you have to pay for having loved him so much and for doing the brave and responsible thing.

(((hugs))) to you and RIP Loki x

[carthorse]

Sweet dreams Loki x. You were so loved & I'm sure you knew it.

Lokisofi please take care of yourself & believe that what you did was the kindest, most loving thing.

[Zingy]

Another star in the sky tonight. Shine bright little Loki.

[laceyfreckle]

R.I.P Loki

Please take good care of yourself LokiSofi. you've made one of the hardest decisions there is to make in owning horses and you have been completely selfless, Loki is galloping over Rainbow Bridge, pain free and happy.

He'll be watching you every day and be with you on every ride.

[chickyd444]

Night Night Dearest little Loki, i am hoping my big lad will be waiting for you on the bridge and will look after you for your mum, and he will take you to all the best places to eat and run. RIP sweet little boy x x x x x

[ginageorge]

R.I.P Loki you were a very lucky little man to have a mommy that loves you so much and was brave enough to set you free.Your pain has gone now and you can gallop and play with all your new Friends at the Rainbow Bridge.Goodnight sweet little pony.

[kayjayhorses]

Rest in Peace Loki, I feel like I know you so well without actually meeting you - you was in my heart this afternoon.
Run free little one, you'll never feel pain again.

[emma314]

Loki was such a gorgeous little pony. He was very lucky to have such a wonderful Mum.

Take care, LokiSofi - you have done the right thing. It helps me to think that a spirit cannot just vanish but instead becomes a part of everything that is beautiful in the world. So whenever you see a sunset or a sky full of stars then Loki will be with you.

[elaine@dow-evan]

{{{{{huge hugs}}}} I cant say any more.

Peace & grace

[colettybetty]

Sleep sweetly little one. Lokisofi, thinking of you tonight, such a brave and selfless thing to do.

[Jenny2502]

i dont know how you cope, i am sobbing here at the keyboard and its not my horse, you are so brave, bless you and well done for doing the right thing and putting him out of pain. my thoughts are with u.

[ANN H]

RIP little Loki. Take care of yourself Lokisofi - you've been so brave in making the right decision for him.

[magicalmac]

Run free little man.
Lokisofi- Take care of yourself. Deep down you know you did the right thing.
Regards Sue.

[Wally]

what you have done is the hardest thing you'll most likely ever have to do. Hold your head up high knowing you are a caring owner who loved your horse to the last, and when it counted you did the greatest act of love for him you could.

Oh how I wish it was easier and less painful.

[Nookster]

RIP Loki run free x

[LokiSofi]

Thankyou everyone. I ache so badly today (I don't remember much about yesterday as I apparently went into shock But I heard the gun shot then apparently dropped to the floor and screamed solidly for 5 minutes so I seem to of hurt my hip shoulder and back by throwing myself on the concrete:rolleyes: ) angelofages had to remind me the amount of horses I had as went ot make up feeds and couldn't remember, Leaving Loki off the list seemed wrong. It's horrible seeing an empty stable and my family and angelofages had tried ot cover the tracks in the school from the tyres but unfortunately it has made them worse and it was the first thing I noticed when i stepped outside this morning which made me feel sick.
At the moment I feel numb, I'm exhausted as when i close my eyes all I hear is the shot so can't sleep and when i try and remember the good timesall I remember is the look of fear on his face when the trailer was backing towards him :(

I'm so sorry LokiSofi, i can't begin to imagine how your feeling today. Stay strong and just remember it was the best thing for him and he won't forget how much you tried for him.
*Lot's of hugs*

[Skint]

LokiSofi,
I went through a similar thing when I lost my mother to cancer 3 years ago. Every time I closed my eyes, or thought of her, all I could see were the things I didn't want to remember and after she died all I wanted was enough distance between myself and that day so that I could remember how lucky I was to have her, and all the things she taught me, and all that kind of stuff, it took some time but eventually that day came, as it will for you.

[Trewsers]

Just wanted to say I thought of you yesterday - you were very brave and I am sending lots of good vibes your way today. Hope that you start to feel something towards normal soon - look afteryourself and we are all here if you want a chat or just to off load. Trewsersxxxxx

I hope so as I jsut feel sick. only remembering yesterday seems to be where my memory stops and if I start trying to remember the good things like the shows we went to in the summer they are quickly scrubbed and pics of yesterday fill my head instead...
My OH and family have banned me from going to work today and possibly tomorrow as apparenmtly I'm not right and am not really on this planet and they felt it would be unsafe and unwise my OH phoned work last night whilst trying ot get me to eat. So instead I'm stuck at home on my own with a sand school full of tyre tracks a yard of miserable horses and a house which seems to of aquired a hell of a lot of Loki tail all over it's floor (not sure where it's come from as the chunk I took out went in an envelope) am going out in a little while to go and halter break a wild foal for a friend. I'm hoping the change of scenery and a different horse around may help a bit.

[sancho]

Think of the good times and try to forget about yesterday.

He wont be feeling anything now but freedom with no pain. He will know you did it all for him and will be having a lovely time in horse heaven galloping about.:)

I truly beleive they know when its time for them to go.

[Jojo_82]

Only just seen this thread hun. :(

All i can send your way is a HUGE

(((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))

and to let you know i am thinking of you. Take baby steps with everything, you're hurting badly right now and need to look after yourself. You've been so very brave. :)

Jo xx

[Miriam]

Gosh it does not seem that long ago that you got Loki


Hugs and thinking of you and loki

[crazyhorse97]

was thinking of you yesterday and am almost crying now reading this.

you did everything you could have for him - if your love could have healed him, he wuld never have had another issue in his life!!!

tons of hugs hun

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[ellasma]

LokiSofi - when we lost our horse last year my sister was with him when he was PTS and she suffered the same sort of thing. Kept remembering his face when it was happening and being physically sick or having panic attacks. She also used to wake in the night, remember it again, and have to run to the loo to throw up.

What you are feeling is completely normal and you aren't alone. It will eventually pass - my sister is now fine with it and says the memory of that is fading, and whilst all she could think of for a while was him being PTS, she now has vivid memories of the good times. You will be ok - just take as long as you need for your heart to heal xxx

[GothRider]

Night night Loki, you were and still are a very loved little pony, always.

Sleep well, Your Aunty. xxx

[boe]

R.I.P. Loki, my thoughts are with you xx

[Cloverwood1]

Best wishes and hugs - I know what this feels like.xx

RIP little Loki. Lots of hugs and love to all those involved.

"If tears could build a staircase, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven, and bring you home again."

[LokiSofi]

Their Eyes Are Watching Over You


When the sun hides it's face from us, and the night comes.
You see stars appear in the navy blue night.
These are not your ordinary stars.
They are the stars in the eyes of horses old and young that have gone from earth to a better place.
So if you have ever lost a horse, or a new foal has been welcomed into the world, always remember,
every night when the night falls over the sky and the stars come out,
Their Eyes are watching over you.
They watch the foals come into the world, and they watch over their old owners who loved them so.
So if you miss your horse that has left you, look into the sky and remember,
Their eyes are watching over you.
And if your mare has just gave birth to a healthy and happy foal, remember,
Their eyes are watching over you.

[kayjayhorses]

Beautiful - I've got a lump in my throat, and thank you for sharing that with us.

[Mataya_Baby]

RIP Loki.
I don't know who you are, but I give all my sympathy.
x

[porsanlunetstud]

I'll lend you for a little while
My grandest foal, He said.
For you to love while he's alive
And mourn for when he's dead.

It may be one or twenty years,
Or days or months, you see.
But will you, till I take him back
Take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief
You'll have treasured memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.

I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
With trust, I have selected you.

Now will you give him your total love?
Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come
To take him back again?

I know you'll give him tenderness
And love will bloom each day
And for the happiness you've know
Forever grateful stay.

But should I come and call for him
Much sooner than you'd planned
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday you'll understand
