I lost my best friend today... Cocoa.
She was put down about 2 hours ago due to heart failure at the age of 32.

Please hug and kiss your horse for me ... and for yourself ... today. Because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

She was with me for 26 yrs. My life was and will be forever changed because she allowed me the honor of sharing her life with me.

Kim, my deepest, most heartfelt condolences. I know exactly how you feel and what you're going through.

Thank you for giving her a good life, and for letting her go when she told you it was time.

Godspeed, good horse.

I'm very sorry... I think you and Cocoa are extremely lucky to find each other and spend so many years together!

Kim, how lucky Cocoa was to have you as her owner. She knew love and kindness, what every horse or animal could or would want. Bless you , and my condolences.

Kim I am so sorry. I put my 31 year old Henry about 3 hours ago. His kidneys were failing. He was my first horse and he taught me so much. Now I am having to watch his pasture mate grieve and not be able help him.
Horses seem to have a way of getting into your heart & soul without ever wanting anything but love in return.

I am so sorry for both of you.
A comfort is that they both had long healthy lives filled with love. Thoughts and prayers out to you both.

Thank you for the condolences. It was a very hard day indeed. Reading all of your kind words made me start crying again... but inside I know that what you say is true - we were lucky to be together for so long.

Micki, I am very sorry about Henry. I know what you are going through.
Cocoa was my first horse too.

Thank you all. Its really hard to send a horse to Rainbow Bridge but I have visions of Henry grazing in the geenish pasture enjoying life which he was no longer able to do in my pasture.
Kim - Henry really liked mares - he was a bit of a playboy - so I bet he was waiting for Cocoa when she got there. She was beautiful.
