Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
I am so so sorry , she was stunning , when I lost a foal last year a
dear friend sent this poem to me , it made me cry even more but it still gave me comfort
hugs to you
I'll lend you for a little while
My grandest foal, He said.
For you to love while he's alive
And morn for when he's dead.
It may be one or twenty years,
Or days or months , you see.
But, will you, till I take him back,
Take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have treasured memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But, there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
With trust, I have selected you.
Now will you give him your total love?
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come
To take him back again?
I know you'll give him tenderness
And love will bloom each day.
And for the happiness you've known!
Forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for him
Much sooner than you'd planned
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday you'll understand.
For though I'll call him home to Me
This promise to you I make,
For all the love and care you gave
He'll wait for you, inside Heaven's Gate.

Oh no! This can't be true! :sad
My heart breaks for you and for her dam. What a loss, what a waste.
My deepest sympathy :(
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Sorry for your loss, she was a beautiful filly.
I think I'm going to have to take a break from this forum.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
This is such a shock! So sorry to hear! My thoughts are with you.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
OMG!!!! what a tradgey, im so so sorry!! :cry:
Big hugs to you and your mare, what a sad waste of such a stunning bub.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Oh Andrea, that is so horrible! I am so sorry, I don't know what to say..... I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, but I will be praying for you. Seems like lately this place is full of bad things happening to great people. I'm so sorry.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
I am SO sorry Andrea, that is such a terrible shame. I am sending you hugs and prayers your way. :sad
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
:sad
Honey that is terrible... I am sending you hugs.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto

Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Oh that's terrible. I'm so sorry to hear that.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Ohhh andrea, this is just crapy, how unfair life is sometimes. None of us will ever forget her. She was perfect ... I am sooo sad for your loss. :sad
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
i am so sorry for your loss :( *hugs*
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
:-o OMG, I am so sorry Andrea...loosing that beautiful little lady is a real tragedy. :sad Take comfort in knowing that she knew you loved her and she loved you too. :cry:
Supaspot60, that is a beautiful, albeit sad, poem.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate the support.
I'm mad, sad, and disgusted at the same time. It's a waste. Plain and simple. To have to utter the words "put her down" when talking of a 3 month old foal is just ludicrous. What is one supposed to learn from something like this???
I dunno.
At any rate, thanks for letting me vent and I do appreciate the kind words from my cyber friends!
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
OMG I am so sorry about the loss of your gorgeous filly. So very very sad :(
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
I am dumbfounded! I feel so sorry for you Andrea. I don't even know what to say... :cry:
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
It is always the best, I find, never the plain colt in the corner, always the gorgeous filly.
It makes me never want to care about a foal again, and it makes me nervous when I do, as well.
Andrea I am so sorry this had to happen.
It is not a lesson to be learned, it is part of the pain of breeding, to be taken on board and to be moved on from.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, after all.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Cyber ((hugs))
Ditto was a little stunner.
RIP little girl
You now have wings, may you fly with angels
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
:cry:
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
:sad very sorry, how awful for you.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
I am so sorry...
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
She will be a beautiful Pegasus (horse angel) to carry you when you go home. Don't give up, she was worth it, now you know what your mare can make. And if you choose to give your little girl siblings, who will, like everyone, eventually join her, you will have a part of her again.
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Looking at her pictures it's just still so hard to believe she's gone. She was beautiful
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
Oh that's so sad, she was gorgeous. I was just reading a few of you lost foals. Gosh and it's always the one that captures your heart. Gosh I do wonder why we breed sometimes, it's so hard to take when things like this happen. Hope this year is a good year for everyone with healthy happy foals.

Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
I still look at her pictures and miss her. She was just special and there was something about her that oozed special!
Look for a new one in 2011!
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
That's exciting news Andrea!
Re: RIP Sweet Ditto
What a darling and beautiful girl. It is inadequate, and I don't know what to say, other than: I'm so sorry. :sad
