Michael..I'm sad when any family member with more than two legs go's away.
I'm sad to hear.

I love all animals.
Love horses and dogs.

Get the photo's out and make some frames for'em. And make a stable door, gate with their name on it in brass. And dates.

We think that they'll be with us forever sometimes.
He/She musta been a charachter alright. What a fun horse to be with.
Really sorry to hear.

Tony.

Sorry to hear about your loss Michael. The passing of a not just a pet but a freind really does cut you to the quick, may his memory live on in you and your wife's hearts forever.

Hi Mic

Sad news. Thinking of you both.

I whipped a clump of tail hair from daughers pony when she died, it hangs on the photo frame and she still gives it a pat as she walks past, almost 5 years ago now.
If you can't whip the hair (if you have some) get a fly tyer to do it for you.

Sorry to hear about your loss Mic.

As redgum says Its hard to loose any of the human family but the four legged variety are just as hard to loose

Thinking of you

[mic-d]

thanks everyone for the replies, I'm going OK but SWMBO is heartbroken, I feel guilty that I'm not as upset as she is
Iain, what thread did you use to whip the hair? ATM, It's in the cat coffin

Cheers
Michael

I used a waxed Gossamer which is made for fly tying, if you like send me a clump and I will do it for you, just send a PM and I can arrange it, just allow a week or so for postage, it is only a 2 minute job but I have a lot of different coloured silks I use for fly tying.
No charge I might add as I share your grief.

[Grunt]

Sad news indeed.

Really sorry to hear of your loss.
