I had a ring made in memory of my horse of a lifetime Comet.
I bought his mum in 2008 and unknown to anyone she was in foal. After 5 months of ownership I discovered the pregnancy and 2 weeks later Comet arrived. He was my first foal and I learned so much, he was calm and laid back taking everything in his stride.
Devastatingly, when he was 5 years old he was taken ill with atypical myopathy and we discovered some sycamore seeds in our grazing. He fought hard but the toxin took over and sadly I watched him leave this wrold just as I had seen him arrive.
My heart is broken and a little piece was lost forever the day he died. There was so much we were meant to do and didn't get the chance.
My ring was made with his hair and his mums so I can keep them both with me whenever I wear it.
