Coreene, I am so sorry… 
Ohhhhhhh Coreene. My heart breaks for you, and for all of us. You made Willem the most specialest horse there ever was, or ever will be. We will all remember him forever. Bless you for your loving care of this fine horse, and keep believing that he is having a rare old time at the Rainbow Bridge, telling all the other horses how much he knows about dressage. I deeply believe he will be watching over you until you meet again.

Coreene, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend and partner Willem. I think you put it best “I have always believed that you give them the best life you can,look after them as best you can,and in the end you give them the gracious gift of a dignified passing. And from these noble steeds you learn something each and every day,which is the best gift of all. They put their hearts into your hands and give you their everything,and you give yours right back.”
Big ((((HUGS)))) Coreene. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Willem is still here in our hearts, as you are.
Coreene:
I was so sorry to hear about Willem. We all have gotten to know him from his posts and what a wonderful gentleman he was. Bless you for being the kind of partner we all want to be for our horses. You were blessed to have each other. You are in my prayers.

Coreene,
Thank you for sharing Willem’s perspective on life with us – I know you left no stone unturned looking for something to help him (pentox, nitro, …) – May you be comforted by your memories of him and the knowledge that you made the decision that was best for him –
I cannot believe that Willem’s delightful “voice” is stilled!
If there is any horse that ever lived who would be capable of “chaneling” messages from the other side of Rainbow Bridge, it would be “our” Willem! Perhaps he will still visit us from time to time? We will be bereft without him!
Fly free, sweet Willem. You take our abiding “Loff” with you!

Damn! I thought I cried enough on the phone with you, and here I am weeping again!
Dear Corinne, you know that I truly believe that “farewell” is only for a short time. Because in the veritable wink of an eye, we will be spending eternity in a heaven that is perfectly ours. Which means it will include our horses.
That shall be so, or I am coming back here as a very disgruntled ghost. 
As many have said before, I’m so sorry for your loss. Willem was fortunate to be loved so much by so many, and he will never be forgotten.

Many hugs for you Coreene.

a sad day, we will all miss the alter ego wilhelm
It’s hard to imagine how you can cry so much for a person and a horse that you have never met, but here I sit nonetheless.
Thank you Coreene for being such a strong person to do the right thing when Willem was suffering. I can only hope that someday I can do the same if the need arises. I am sending lots of prayers your way for peace and strength (though it looks like you already have plenty) 
Farewell Willem, you will be dearly missed
More {{{BIG HUGS}}} to you Coreene…we will all miss Willem so much…you are in my thoughts and prayers… SUZ

I’m really sorry.
His feet don’t hurt anymore, and you let him go with his dignity.
Coreene,
I am a lurker/occasional poster - Willem is the reason that I came to the COTH boards in the first place. He was always a topic of conversation between my friends and I. He will be missed by thousands of people everywhere.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I have been amazed at your ability to post such wonderful, humorous posts during such a difficult time. You are an amazing person, and I thank you for sharing your beloved Willem with the world.
In Willem’s memory, I’ll be sure to give my horse a few extra karroten today and tell him how much I loff him.
Take care,
Je
I lost my beloved Jazz to that same d*mned sinking founder and have been dreading to see this post. There just are no words…
Willem was so loffed…and so are you, Coreene.

I’m so sorry… Godspeed Willem.
hotpony, Willem was a much beloved poster on these boards. He was also a 20 year old, 17-hand chestnut imported Hanoverian gelding. He channeled his thoughts and feeling through his “modder,” Coreene, who “loffed” him very much and who he “loffed.” They had been together for 11 years, since Coreene rescued him from an abusive situation and nursed him back to physical and mental health.
If you read Coreene’s posts and read Willem’s posts, you can see they were very definately separate individuals with very distinct personalities.
