Your Horse Memories
This page is dedicated to your horse memories - our special friends may be gone but will live on in our hearts and will never be forgotten.
If you would like to contribute to this page, why not write a personal tribute to your horse using the form on our
Horse Tributes
page and we will publish them here as a permanent memorial.
Your contributions and shared horse memories are deeply appreciated and will likely help many other horse owners draw strength at this difficult time.
We have shared our own personal memories of a beautiful, brave little mare called Marianne in the poem below - we hope you enjoy it.
Our Beloved Marianne
They said she was a "grey". How foolish!
As if a poet would describe her so!
Her mane and tail all shot with silver
Her coat soft-flecked like rain on driven snow
I didn't want a "grey" - Why buy her?
Yet somehow quickly found that she was mine.
You see, that coat will never glisten -
A bay or chestnut - now that would really shine
Her speed was something else! Quicksilver!
She'd gallop on and never seem to tire
Then stop...hard-breathing for a moment
Her nostrils flared, her lovely eyes afire
Many asked to buy her - sell my girl?
The money in the world would not suffice
I knew that we could not be parted
My Marianne - a pearl without a price
We had eleven years - far too few
Still - our time was filled with so much laughter
I don't regret a single day together,
Even the sadness following after.
She lost her fight to live - my brave mare
Just about the time the world was waking
She slipped away to sleep forever,
Then it felt as though my heart was breaking.
She lit my life like a flame, now she's gone
But like a fire - remembrance fills my heart
The life, the love we shared together
In memories we'll never ever part.

“Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.”
There are some horses that are once-in-a-lifetime horses. Bree,you were one of them - I loved you like no other, and always will.
Looking back,I can't tell whether you were entrusted to me, or if I was to you, you looked after me so much.
Goodnight, big girl,I'll miss you forever and a day x

In memory of a very special little colt - Oberon
Submitted by: Sianie 19/05/2009
Our very first coloured colt who sadly had everything desirable for this world was sadly taken to a better place, Oberon you were born on a great day. I had just come out of the ring at the Royal Welsh with a respectable third place, when I had the phonecall saying you were born too early.
How I wish I could of just been at home that day, but we struggled lad with you for 9 days and sadly on the 2nd of August 2006 you passed away in Dad's arms. Rest in peace our little fella. xxx
Our thanks to everyone for their continued contributions to this page - an everlasting tribute to some very special friends.
