On New Years day we lost our friend Beatrice to colic.
She was a splendid pony - a big, good-natured Shire mare who was nice to ride and did a lot of work as a driving horse during her career. She had retired over the last couple of years because she was a bit creaky and she had very much become part of my OH's family. She will be very much missed.
My first ride on her, back in 2009.
In 2011, after a couple of previous failed pregnancies, she got the chance to be a mum, another job she excelled in. Magic was her only foal.
Run free, big mare. Or amble free, that was more in your line.

She was very beautiful.
