Thank you all for your kind thoughts, and thank you so much Dr Kellon
for putting my mind at rest and making those last moments with him
easier.

He taught us so much. It's through Homer that I've learned what I have about laminitis, and because of him I've been able to help other horses with laminitis. He was only 18, his laminitis seemed well behind him, he gave Martin the best ride of his life only last Tuesday, he taught him to ride. We'll love him forever.

Andrea, my condolences to you.

It always saddens me when I hear of a loss on this list. We are all kindred spirits on this journey that our fur kids have sent us on- they teach us so much. It's one of the hardest & kindest things we can do in return for them.

Take care

I am very sorry for your loss, Andrea. It is allways hard to be left behind by one of our ponies.
Sure Homer will meet some nice guys up there to play with.

So sorry Andrea. Unlike people, our animals give so much and ask so little. You were brave to let him go.

Andrea,

What a gift Homer was, and how fortunate that he had you caring so much for him.

He will stay with you forever–-I'm sure you'll hear his sage advice from time to time, and feel his love.

It was so peaceful, he's at peace now and hopefully eating as much grass and carrots as he wants. He wouldn't even eat grass and apple today.

We'll love him forever.

So sorry Andrea! Homer will live on with you through all of the knowledge you have learned and share. I am always blown away by the depth of knowledge you have acquired because of your boy. Can't imagine the day when my beloved, crusty, pain in the butt, but I love her to pieces, Buttercup is gone. She is leading me on a journey also, so for that I will be forever grateful. I know that you will always have a very special bond with Homer because of your mission to help others, and now it can be in his honor and memory.
Wishing you peace,

Oh, Andrea, I am so sorry. How unutterably heartbreaking. You are so right, letting him go was the only option.

Fly free, dear Homer.

Oh Andrea I am so sorry to hear of your losing him. He sounds like a great horse and he was fortunate to be yours these last few years as you have done so much for him. It is always too soon to lose those we love, but at least he went peacefully and will live in your heart and memory.

All the best

I'm SO VERY SORRY for the loss of Homer, Andrea. He was lucky to have a caring Mom like you who put an end to his discomfort. You will never forget all the great times you had with him. I wish he could have stayed longer to be with you.

My heart goes out to you.

Big Hug,

He's gone. His pulse had risen to over 60 and his lactate was above normal, and he was in so much discomfort, so there wasn't a decision to be made. It was so peaceful, he's at peace now and > He y, he taught him to ride. We'll love him forever.
