It was a really really hard day yesterday when we had to make the decision to let Ruby go, her arthritis had got so bad that the vet advised it was cruel to keep her going as she was in pain and we couldn't relieve it. She had learnt to live with it for a while now and we have been struggling with her for a while, but it makes it no easier when you have to make the call. She was 32 and had a great life here, Studley and Storm, me and Pete were with her and she was calm and eating her box of pony nuts. I was stood right next to her as she fell at my feet, it was awful but at least we were all around her and it was quick. I wont ever have a big pony again, it seems the bigger the animal the worse it is for some reason. Actually no, this situation is horrible for any size, but today its a big one! But I am glad her retirement was a happy one and that her life here was really great. Miss you Rubs XXXX
