Having a horse or pony put to rest is a matter that is not normally discussed until the time presents itself.
It is a heartbreaking, confusing experience and sometimes as a result of emotional upset, a decision is made
before all the options have been realised. The proprietor of ‘Equine Farewells’ knows this only too well
through her previous personal experiences. I remember being in a highly emotional state, making phone
calls to various businesses, some of which were either insensitive or extremely expensive. Furthermore,
I have now learned that there are many more options available than I previously thought. Through my
experiences, I understand only too well that each person’s requirements are individual, requiring a
sympathetic and caring approach.
There are many aspects that should be taken into consideration before choosing a humane destruction and
disposal service provider. Some very important points for consideration are; what type of humane pistol is
used? Is an individual collection service offered? What type of transportion is used? and Does the provider
have experience with horses? Another important factor to consider is the size of the cremation unit, if a
cremation is required. Before a quotation is submitted to a client, Equine Farewells ensures that each
service provider meets our high standards. The client then has peace of mind, knowing that their horse,
pony or donkey will be treated with the dignity and respect that he or she deserves and that the service
provider will be sensitive to the situation, whilst providing a high standard of service.
Our equine funeral services are available nationwide and vary from a free of charge service to a complete
cremation, with the ashes returned in a wooden, name-plated casket. By negotiating nationwide, Equine
Farewells can offer a caring, complete funeral package, suited to individual's needs at a fair price.
