A Tribute to Moo


This is Moonshine (fondly known as Moo). She was a Highland Pony belonging to my friend, Clare and she died on Friday, probably of a heart attack. In the last few years, although she was retired, Moo would not stay behind when Clare rode out on her other ponies so Moo always went along too - loose - along the forest tracks. Moo was over 40 years old, a wonderful old girl who will be missed by all who were fortunate to have known her. RIP Moonshine xxx

  2. May Moonshine always run free. What a testimony to what is possible with love and fine care!

  3. That Moony lived so long and so happily is testimony to Claire`s love and attention and general devotion. May she forever be free to roam the Glens and the Highlands of her youth and to cavort with the friends she left behind.

  4. Over 40 years?
    Impressing age, and not the least that she was so eager to follow suit even up in her years!

  5. Thank you - I was honoured to be Moo's mum for the last years of her life. She taught me so much about love, gave me confidence and was the most wonderful pony in the world. I will always miss her.

  6. It's so sad when we lose one of our good friends. Sounds like Moo had a good and loving home and I'm sure she enjoyed her life. I know she will be missed and remembered with fondness and love. Sorry for your loss.

  7. So sad about Moo, what a grand pony she must have been. Sounds like she really loved to be out and about and didn't want to be left out, even in her advanced years!
    She surly has a special place in horse heaven!
