A few weeks ago, we had to say goodbye to one of Forge Equestrian's most loved characters. Our gorgeous Tom went to horsey heaven. 🌈🐴
Tom wasn't just another horse on the yard – he was part of the Forge family. He was happiest with a fresh pile of hay to munch, a cosy spot for a snooze, and a good roll in the sand. He had a way of making everyone smile and will always be remembered for his gentle nature, his love of food, and his incredible talent for finding the perfect place to sleep.
Recently, his wonderful owner, Róisín, made the beautiful decision to have Tom cremated and asked if she could scatter some of his ashes here at Forge. She told us it was his happy place, and we couldn't think of anywhere more fitting for a horse who loved life here so much. It is an honour to know that a little part of Tom will always remain at Forge, where he was so loved and where so many special memories were made.
The yard won't quite be the same without seeing his friendly face waiting for breakfast each morning or catching him enjoying one of his many afternoon naps.
We feel incredibly privileged that Róisín chose to bring Tom to our track system and allowed him to be part of our horsey family for the final few years of his life. He certainly etched a place in all our hearts and left us with memories we'll treasure forever.
Run free, beautiful boy. You will always be part of this truly special place, and you'll forever be part of the Forge family. ❤️🌈
