We lost our wonderful matriarch Lizzie to liver failure this morning after a short but devastating illness. She was a proud horse and struggled to the end but went down at breakfast time this morning. Thanks to our vets at Rosevean veterinary Practice for coming out daily to attend her and for the final inevitable visit this morning. Her foal is quiet having stood with her mother until nearly the end and is well and strong survive. We will miss Lizzie's strong proud nature and gentle ways.
I am so sorry for your loss - she was a beautiful mare.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteoh no! hugs! and hugs for baby too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate, Di and Claire - I'd always imagined Lizzie living her day out in retirment here in years to come but is was not to be. Fate can be cruel to us. WE have the beautiful Sophie though and she is doing really well - I'll try to write more about lizzie in a day or so. Thank you agian for your kindness
