The hardest part of loving an animal, is having to make the decision of when to ease their suffering, & let them go..
A heartbreaking decision for those who love them. Even when they have lived a amazing life full of love.
Today I met beautiful Chief. His owner Missy messaged me after she realised she really didn't have any beautiful photos of them together, despite the twenty plus years they have shared together.
His lovely owner Missy from The Giving Farm - Pick Your Own Events shared with me some of how he had become hers..
Chief was born on Melbourne Cup day, and had his photo in the paper! He will turn 25 this year. Missy had known him since he was born, as he was bred by a friend. Missy's friend asked her to come & take a ride on him, while he was being started as a youngster.
After watching Missy riding him, she looked at her and said, "well I think I've lost my horse, I know he is just meant to be with you".
She wouldn't take any money as she felt they were meant to be a team. 50c was exchanged so it was legal and he's been Missy's pride and joy ever since.
Thank you Missy, for giving me the chance to meet him & capture the beautiful bond you have. I am so sorry you are having to make such a hard decision. He was so lucky to have your love.
