As a retired Certified Veterinary Technician, I understand the Twisted Gut condition. I also now that there are few options. You made the roughest decision and the best for his comfort and spirit. It is never, never, never an easy decision. You are a Brave Soul yourself. You have every right to cry. It is part of your grieving. My empathy and sincere condolences 😓😓

Colic can kill. Twisted guts are serious. It can hit fast. I had 1 of my thoroughbreds who had to be put down. The vet said a operation could give me maybe 6 more months with him. The pain of surgery/recuperation wouldn't be fair to him. He's buried on our land. In the field he'd run & played in. Destroys you. I still cry yrs later. My heart goes out to her. She has beautiful memories. Bless her. It'll take time to gather herself. But always remember, they're always in your heart. Thank God, you had him. Sorry for your lost. It's unbearable. 😢

So so hard.. two surgeries one day apart I still had to call it a day.. that was even at a vet college where they said he was good one day after surgery knowing the horse I knew he was still not ok.. but you made the right call.. recovery even from surgery is not easy and I know many horses where eventually colic came back and got them again..

Dear Evie, you gave your beloved the greatest gift by freeing him from his agony. And you gave him a wonderful life. He is safe now and you can love him forever. What an absolutely brilliant tribute!

DEEPEST HEARTFELT SYMPATHY FOR YOU EVIE, YOUR FAMILY AND EVERYONE WHO LOVED TITAN ❤️‍🩹. May you all come together for comfort, strength and find peace in days, weeks and months to come. Rest Well Titan, you had a wonderful life when you found your true partner in Evie 💞. As you crossed the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge may you have been met with wide open bright green fields 💚 and sunshine 🌞🙏.

So very sorry for your sad loss Evie. It’s the worst painful thing any horse could get. I am sending you a VIRTUAL HUG 🤗 TO YOU. Now he’s pain free running with other horses looking down on you .

Oh so sorry. It is never easy to lose a loved horse. 💞

God bless your grieving heart. You made the right decision. Now your precious Titan is grazing in beautiful pastures in Paradise, waiting to see you again.❤

I am so sorry. It's been 24 years and I still miss my horse. Your tears remind me of my own. I had 3 days of hoping his renal failure would reverse and they are still the worst 3 days of my life. My heart goes out to you..Hugs from Florida.

My heart aches for you.

my heart goes out to you for this tragedy. I lost my beautiful Tennessee walker in 2009 the same way. he was rolling back and forth trying to scratch his back and then about 15 minutes later he went down and was stumbling around. I told my wife to call the veterinarian and ran out there the vet was there in half an hour and it was too late. there was a surgical table at a private ranch but there was not enough time to even get him there. so we had to let him go. he was a great horse and I still miss him.

I don't know how this came up in my feed but please know I have watched this video from start to finish. What a wonderful story of love between the two of you. It was brave of you to share your news so soon. My heart goes out to you, and I send a hug for equine Maggie who will miss his company dearly too.

Oh my word. What a horrible horrible shock for you all. Such a pretty horse. Just stunning. Thank you for finding the strength to let us know the sad news and also for sharing his wonderful life with you. He will be sorely missed I am sure. Stay strong. I guess it’s plan “C” now ❤️

A twisted gut really leaves you no choice, you did the only thing you really could. It was a courageous decision and the best thing for Beastie, sadly . Hugs and more hugs

Evie, I am so sorry you lost your beloved Beastie. I hope all your beautiful memories help you, what a wonderful time together you had. You always put him first, thank you for sharing.

Evie, I'm so very sorry, I know you're devastated. Never apologize for shedding your tears of love and heartbreak. I'm still crying for the loss of my precious English Bulldog. I miss her. And I know you're going to miss Titan forever. He was absolutely gorgeous. Hang in there, honey, everyone grieves differently. Don't let anyone rush you through the grieving process. Much love from Colorado USA.

The hugeness of the hole some horses leave in our hearts when we lose them feels like it can never be filled. This is not true because they leave us with so many wonderful memories that bring tears when the hurt is fresh that slowly turn into smiles as time passes and we remember their greatness and the privilege we had of knowing them.

It's never easy to say goodbye to a family member. It hurt always so much. 😢 But titan had a good life with you. He could'nt have a better home.💞

I'm so sorry, it's so very hard to lose a much loved friend (I've been there too, sudden colic with my much loved old mare, we've just passed the 2 year anniversary). Please don't apologise for shedding a tear over him (I shed a tear watching the video and I'm just a follower), it's very brave of you to create this touching and beautiful tribute to him. What a wonderful time you had together over the years, the love you have for him shines through when you speak about him. Make sure you look after yourself and give yourself time to grieve. I hope you can find comfort knowing you did the very best for him 🤍.

I cannot imagine how shocking this must have been for you. Your tears show how much you love him. You gave him the best last gift of a peaceful transition.

I am so sorry. It's never easy. My heart breaks for you

So very very sad for you,it's like a knife in your heart.I,ve been there,the pain feels atctually physical. BLESS YOU.

Oh Evie, my heart breaks for you! I have no words... I'm not going to give platitudes and say it will get better but I have found with my furry kids who have passed that pain transmutes, moving from the extreme ache and sadness into the beloved memories rising to the surface, versus my tears. You are in my thoughts and I wish you weren't going through this pain.

They are your BFFs always and forever gone but not forgotten ❤ sending hugs he's was gorgeous bless him ❤

What a beautiful boy - he looked like one of those horses in ancient Greek art. Sorry you are hurting😢

Your video just popped up on my feed. I didn’t know you or your beloved Titan. I’m so sorry for your loss. Many of us know this kind of loss, and it really hurts very deeply. Many horses will preform, but, I could tell he was happy to do what you asked of him and he did it beautifully. He looked like he genuinely enjoyed himself. That was a beautiful tribute to your Titan; thank you for sharing.

Not a horse, but last month I had to say goodbye to my cat of almost 20 years. Almost half my life. I was there when we had her seizure event, which was scary and unexpected, then she went quietly down hill. I was with her for the next, the last, 12 hours. Took her to the vet, brought her home. They weren't quite sure what happened, but that there wasn't alot that could humanely be done. I am glad I was with her. She wasn't herself, staring blindly, ears forward and immobile, walking in circles into things and not stopping or turning. She stayed stiller and more relaxed as long as I held her. I quickly realized this wasn't going away and it was time. Waited for the mobile vet to open and held her in a towel while we waited. I don't think she was in pain. Stroked her in the mobile, stroked her while they did it. I'm not sure how it could have been gentler. When I went to pick up her ashes, I hadn't realized they had done a fur clipping, certificate, and a paw print box and a plaque on her ash box, bot boxes in cloth bags. Oh I was bawling when I looked took everything out. She liked hunting pens and jungle balls, we were bonded, she wasn't the same with anyone else. The last time I saw my brother alive, she meowed at him and asked to be picked up by him, which I don't remember her doing to anyone else. I think she knew there was something going on with him. It was a rough 12 months.... I remember at our dad's viewing he leaned down and kissed him goodbye. So that's what I did with my kit.

What is it with the quirky ones that we lose our hearts over the most? You are a brave young lady! I lost my heart horse March 11, 2012 & I STILL cry over him when I tell his story! Titan was a lucky horse to have had you in his life. So very sorry for your loss.

Please accept my condolences

Sending a huge hug 😢❤❤

What a brave video whilst still so raw. Sending you very best wishes at this sad time 😢x

So sorry you lost your heart 💖 horse...you will miss him so much...but he left you with so many memories to carry in your heart always...he was such a beautiful, gorgeous, stunning horse...thank you for sharing him with all of us... My heart goes out to you, your family, and maggie...she's going to miss him too. Give her lots of hugs... He'll be waiting for you ...Evie to ride him again in Heaven..🐎 God Bless you all R.I.P....Titan⚘️

So very sorry for your loss. Run free Titan 🙏

Sooo sorry for your loss. Y’all made such a beautiful team. I truly believe two things: they take our love with them and we will see them again one sweet day. I’m sure that sweet boy is telling all his new furever friends about his wonderful life with you. You are in my prayers.🙏🙏

Dreadful decision to make when the vet says there is little hope of recovery and you know they're in pain. My heart goes out to you.

Absolutely heartbroken for you ❤️ what a beautiful video and tribute to a horse that you clearly love with your whole heart! You said he saved you but I think you saved him too! Thinking of you all xxx

😢 it's so hard to say goodbye 😔 to your best mate.... May the fond memories bring a little smile back

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy Titan. May he gallop across the Rainbow Bridge and magically touch each cloud as he gallops through Heaven.💔🐎🌈🙏

We just lost a lovely mare about 6 weeks ago.. After dealing with colic on several occasions over my lifetime, I recognized the signs when I went to check on the horses that night.. Then when I saw she had not touched her feed that evening, I put her halter on and started to lead her to the house for observation. She continued to hang her head but only laid down when I stood for a length of time. Even then , she wasn't really tryNa roll.. She just laid down and laid flat .. But then she would get right up when asked.. I called out vet, and they said to bring her on in and they would meet us there, as it was after hours. We got there just before midnight . They run a tube up her nose and down her throat.. with no blockage . They run an arm up the other end but felt no blockage. They did an ultrasound and said it showed her small intestine slightly dilated.. The next morning they called wanting to put her to sleep.. I said no. There has got to be something to try.. it has only been maybe 12 hours since I had found her uncomfortable.. So they started an IV on her , as she was starting to dehydrate.. By 7pm that night, she called and said she was not improving and still showing signs of severe pain, and she was at her limit of the amount of pain meds she could give her.. That she needed to be put down.. Almost not giving us an option. So we went to the vet barn to see her off and I have not forgiven myself for the way it all went down. Looking back , I was wrong. She was wrong! She was not giving us any hope from the time we dropped the mare off at midnight the night before. Even tho the colic seemed rather mild. And when we went to see her that last time , she was SO MUCH BETTER , but the vet said it was bc she was heavily medicated and slightly sedated.. Then she would not let us stay with her to be there when she put her to sleep.. I have seen horses sedated and medicated.. Not necessarily at the same time. AND THIS MARE WAS NOT ACTING EITHER MEDICATED NOR SEDATED! She got up on her own when we came to the stall . She was high headed and bright eyed. She was busy body going between myself and my adult daughter getting pets and scratches like she always did.. I regret allowing the professional to convince me that it was her time. And we could put her down or she was gonna suffer and die anyway.. I should have brought the mare home.. The ultrasound did not show a blockage! The bill was $2000 and they charged us $400 to put her to sleep.. I think we were dollar signs.. The mare meant nothing to them . She was a part of this family for nearly 12 yrs!!

They give you so much love and happiness in our lives but the pain when they pass never leaves you thank you for loving him .R I P beautifull boy you were so loved by your beautifull owner

My condolences. The closest I’ve come to a real horse, was Silver, of the Lone Ranger. Every Wednesday night I listened to the story on radio. BUT Silver miraculously slept on the end of my bed. Somehow I felt your pain, and love you so much for sharing.

OH Darling so sorry, am so proud that you are able to express your feelings to people who really care about your lovely horses and yourself God Bless TITAN and God bless your family and your love of your horses long may it continue with Titan in your heart and by your side 😊xxx.

The horse you love is safe now, but you are left with loss and tears. Hang onto those good memories, your love for him will get you thru the grieving process. I woke up sad because today is the 2 year anniversary of the death of my large companion parrot. We were together for almost 30 years. Watching your video helped release my sadness and instead remember the love. My heart is with you....

So so sorry Evie

❤😢 I'm crying with you. My heart breaks with yours.❤

The same thing happened to my best horse ever. Its been years and it still hurts because he was so special. I didn't get to hold his head as he was euthanized because his colon ruptured as they were surgically untwisting the intestines. He was only 5 years old. I wish the best on your recovery.

Beautiful tribute. Sending warm hugs :)❤
