Chinooks 18th Birthday - in memory

[Nookster]

My beautiful lad who would have been 18 years old today. How I wish you were still here that we could have celebrated your birthday together and had many more years in each others company.

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. Not a day goes by that a long to have you back with me.

I owe you so much and with each day that passes i honour what a great horse you were and cherish all I learnt with you.

I long for the day we are reunited x

awww happy birthday chinook. he was such a handsome lad- i love the head shot of him and you- shows such a connection between you guys.
you did everything you could have possibly done for him though and he had such a lovely life with you. :)

Lovely post Nookster. What a beautiful boy, and what a partnership you were :)
You never forget the ones you love whether they are physically here with you or not. I have 2 lovely girls now (cats that is) whom I absolutely adore but not a day goes by when I don't think of the older cats and dogs I have lost over the years.
We have photos of them all around the house and have their ashes in caskets in a place of honour. I have to believe that I will be with them again one day when we all meet on the Rainbow Bridge.
They are always in my heart as Chinook is always in yours.
Take care of yourself today.

Chinook was one of my alltime favourite New Rider horses, and your ordeal with him really struck home with myself and Cheyenne.

Thinking of you lots at such a hard time, get lots of hugs from Odin and Vol xxx

I've never actually seen pictures of Chinook before. I'm awestruck, he was stunning. How lucky you were to have your life touched by him, and how lucky he was in return :)

Happy Birthday Chinook xx

oh hun, you know i sympathise with you having been through the same. Happy Birthday chinook. I'm sure he's up there somewhere with my bonnie causing havoc :)

[Mimi + Me]

Happy birthday Chinook - you have a mummy that loves you very much, lucky boy xx

[kerenza]

Happy birthday Chinook, you were not only beautiful, but clearly very lucky to have a owner that loved you so much.

[Alice1992]

So beautiful. Its sadder though that you did actually celebrate his birthday propourly :( With hats and balloons...so he actually new :( Not all owners actually do stuff for their pets birthday. But he would have known how much you loved and cared for him, and wouldnt have been happier with anybody else but you. I dont know you but im sure you let him enjoy every momwnt of his life xxx

Wow-he was a handsome boy!
I have tears running down my face reading that, RIP little man xxxxxx
