Goodbye Ellie
I've just received one of the the worst messages this morning :cry:
My old share horse Ellie has passed away from old age. She was nearly 31.
I last rode her about 18 months ao and the madam p*ssed off with me as I wasn't paying attention :P
I have some lovely memories of her though. I did my only dressage tests on her and we won them both largely due to her remembering the test :oops: rather than my riding skill :P She had a couple of favourite places to gallop and if you wouldn't let her go would do a lovely collected rocking horse canter instead as she was so excited :D Ellie taught me and many others so much. She was there for me when we lost my MiL and then a month later when my own Mum passed and, for an unaffectionate mare, she gave some great cuddles :)
Run free Ellie in that great field in the sky until we meet again at the Bridge

Re: Goodbye Ellie
Thank you guys.
She was definitely a once in a lifetime horse. She taught me a lot. Patience for a start. Balance when she would spook mid canter at a bird in a hedge :o And that there is always more than one way of achieving something and that all ways should be explored :P
Ellies owner is doing a Memorial Board for her so I said I would have a look for some pictures to print off for her. Turns out I have about 20 which is way more than I thought I had. Once I figure out how to put pics on here I will show you some of them. She certainly didn't look her age in them at all :)
