debris4spikeToni has just phoned me to say that her much loved "baby" has had to be put to sleep.
Secret was in his late 20's and the most amazing horse - when competing she won every competition she entered on him ... even coming 5th (one year) in the Open National Cross-Country Championships.
He was a cream Connemara X Thoroughbred ... with Royal blue eyes ... and very much a Gentleman ... who loved (and was loved) by his Mum very much.
I saw him today - he was happy, cantering round his field in the sunshine - and if asked to describe him I would have said "Full of Life". Sadly he fell at lunchtime and broke a leg, so the vet had to be called - at least his last few days had been in the sun and his end was quick.
He was never the same after his stable companion Squiffy died 8 years ago - so now I know they are both together again
R.I.P. Moonlight Dreamer ... You will be sadly missed.
