Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our beloved Ted 💔
Our big, gentle giant. With his soft nature and endless patience, he was truly special, especially for the children. He seemed to know exactly what someone needed and gave so much comfort, warmth and trust.
Lately, his health had been declining. First, a severe colic attack, when we thought we were going to lose him… but miraculously, he recovered. A week later, he suffered a seizure with lasting effects. He could no longer walk properly and was often confused. And still… he kept enjoying life. The attention, the walks together, running a few laps in the arena and peacefully grazing.
Until last week. He had a setback and could no longer do the things that made him happy. With heavy hearts, we made the difficult decision to let him go in a dignified and honorable way.
The paddock feels empty. It feels like a huge loss and it hurts deeply. But for our dear Ted, this was the kindest choice ❤️
He meant so much to children who were going through a hard time and for that we are incredibly grateful. Grateful for all the love, warmth and cuddles he gave us.
Rest easy, sweet Ted ✨
