    Sad to read on Twitter that Nacarat has suffered a fatal injury at his owner’s home.

    What lovely memories of the flying grey, RIP old boy.

    Absolutely! Sad to lose such a lovely horse.

    I'd like to live in a place where they cordon off swans...

    What a shame. I’d hoped this lovely old chap would have had a long and happy retirement. R.I.P.

    This is very sad news. What a nice and lovely horse he was and he went way too soon.
    Rest in Peace Nacarat

    Did you see the lovely photos of Nacarat at Paddy Brennan’s wedding? He’ll be so upset about this. There’s something particularly sad about a brave horse that is going to have a long and happy retirment only for a tragedylike this to strike.

    Loved to see him leading the field such a lovely looking horse, sorry to hear that he didn’t get the long retirement that he deserved so much his connections must be devastated to lose him.
    RIP Nacarat we will miss you.

    Stunning pictures Moe reminded me of Desert Orchid at Midge’s daughter Frances’s wedding.

    I finally got round to writing to Midge to thank her for everything.

    I’m sure she will be so pleased with your letter Moe. I hope she is getting on OK with her treatment.
    She would have been sad to hear about Nacarat too, it seems they’re gone in the blink of an eye
    and we are just left with the memories.

    When you think about it, if a horse lives out it’s normal lifespan [ @ie 30 years]it is a huge chunk of anyones life [a pony even more so]. Which makes it so hard when they go. The other side of the coin being that, anything less than that age is a tragedy. We don’t expect to share our lives with any of our other pets for as long as we do the horses that we know and love. And, for such big, strong animals, we are so responsible for them, especially as they’re like big kids seemingly constantly trying to injure themselves. And, if they don’t they’ve always got the dreaded colic threatening them. Their fragility is probably why we treasure them so much, in that we can never take them for granted.
