Your Horse MemoriesThis 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. There are lots of pictures of her on this website but our favourite is below.
Our Beloved Marianne
They said she was a "grey". How foolish!
I didn't want a "grey" - Why buy her?
Her speed was something else! Quicksilver!
Eleven years together - far too few
Many asked to buy her - a handsome mare indeed
Beyond our help, she lost her fight
Reflection brings to mind so many good times In loving memory of our very special Marianne who sadly passed away on 3rd August 2003 aged 25 years. NEW Norah - our truly wonderful horse Submitted by: Kate 24/11/2010 On 22nd November 2010, my beloved mare Norah was put to sleep. She had been struggling with arthritis and immune system problems,and was looking tired and unhappy. We told all the horses on the farm what was happening and explained it to them,telling them how much we love them all and that Norah would be going somewhere where she could watch over them all. She went to sleep very peacefully, and I know she's watching over us until we see her again. Norah was a huge character and a truly wonderful horse who gave me my life back at a time when I had lost all hope. The 12 years she spent with me were so precious,and the love I have for her will never end. Thank you for everything my beautiful girl, you'll always be in my heart and I'll see you in the stars xxxx In memory of beautiful Bree Submitted by: Danielle 15/08/2009 “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 sympathy for your loss Submitted by: Abbi 9/08/2009 sorry everyone to hear about all your losses with your horses 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.
