Ways to Remember Your Beloved Horse
Loosing your best friend is one of the toughest things you can go through. There isn't anything that can take the pain away, but with time we go from mourning to remembering. For me it's important to have something tangible left, so I have outlines a few things below that helps me.
- Keepsake jewellery
- Plant a tree
- Create a memorial space
- Get a tattoo
- Legacy donations
- Memorial photography session
Keepsake jewellery
There are a number of services that creates beautiful custom pieces of jewellery that contains hair of your own horse. Wearing this jewellery will make you always feel close to them, even after they are gone. Some UK based businesses that can help you create rings, pendants, bracelets and more are Tail End Jewellery, Diva Tails Jewellery and Entwined Horse Hair Jewellery.
Plant a tree
Plant a tree in your horse's favourite grazing spot and watch it grow over time in a tribute to your horse.
Create a memorial space
Dedicate a corner of your home or stable to dispolay mementos of your horse like shoes, photos, rosettes from shows and other things of importance to the relationship between you and your horse.
Get a tattoo
One way of honouring your horse is to get a tattoo of them. It doesn't have to be anything big, but a small, meaningful tattoo of hoof print, your horse's name or a small portrait.
Legacy donations
A one way donation or setting up recurring donations to a horse charity in your horse's name can be a beautiful way to both remember your horse and do something really meaningful to help horses in need.
Memorial photography session
If you know that your horse is reaching the end of their life, having a memorial session can create a really beautiful and meaningful experience. You will be making new memories, share some quality time with your best friend and, if you wish, create a photo album full of precious moments.
If you want to book a memorial session, please get in touch. I will always make space to make sure that these sessions can happen.
