In memory of Tye (Typhoon). I will never forget.

It is late as I right this, but I cannot sleep and I hope that writing this here may help.

It has been many years since that faithful evening in 1995. It was my first year of studying Architecture at Oxford Brookes University, and like most avid equestrians I had joined the Brookes equestrian team, where we would compete with 3 other regions with a dressage test and then a jumping course aiming to get the best combined score. Obviously we would practice at a nearby riding school, to try to improve certain aspects, that may help with the competition. Well this was one of those nights where I had been out riding, but on returning to my halls of residence I found a note on my door saying that I had to ring my mother straight away upon my return , but I had to make sure that I went with company. Naturally one of the girls I lived with came down to the phone box, whilst I made the call home.

I thought something had to be wrong due to the note on my door, but I was truly heart broken when my mother told me the terrible news that my dear beloved horse Tye had been taken ill, but was not to recover, after the vet had tried everything possible, which let my mum, with that awful decision that sometimes has to be made, for the best, to minimise further suffering. My mum had tried to contact me, but to no avail. Which probably made it harder to break the news.

I still have those great memories of the rides that I used to go on and I have been blessed to have know this truly fantastic horse, who I will never forget, but miss so greatly.

what a beautiful horse. It may have been a few years but the pain is still raw. Your post has upset me knowing that you are still suffering so greatly from the loss of your wonderful horse. Try and take some comfort in knowing that the best decision was made and that Tye didnt suffer unneccessarily. (((((hugs)))))) to you xxx

 

The Rainbow Bridge For Horses

 


By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
when their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,
is a place where beloved creatures find rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
till The Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed.
Their bodies have healed with strength imbued.

They trot through the grass without even a care,
till one day they whinny and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes sharp and alert.
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the herd.

For just at that second, there's no room for remorse.
As they see each other...one person...one horse.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past
The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart
has turned to joy once more in each heart.
They nuzzle with a love that will last forever.
And then, side-by-side, they cross over...together

Thanks for your wonderful posts.

Please dont be upset, as this is a pure reflection of the events of that night. I know that these events do happen, but not being there, probably meant that I did not have to see Tye suffer, so all my memories are of the good times.

I think its the mark of a great horse that you can look back all this time later with such fondness and love.  Some horses come and go and with hime are forgotten but the special ones are imprinted on us forever.  xx
