Touching. I lost my Mickey as he tore a tendon on some fence cows had knocked. Some people realy don't why losing a horse is so hard - but it really is.

I feel your loss..

My 18h 30+ year old thoroughbred cross gelding Drako died this summer. He coliced in a rainstorm, layed down in a puddle, and broke his leg struggling. My trainer, two other girls, and I got him up, but he was just too old for his leg to heal.

How sad!
I hope none of my two horses will ever have such problem. It must be absolutly heart-breaking to take such a decision.

aw... that's a very sweet image. touching.

where's ruby going?

whitdog In reply to BurlapZack [2004-12-29 23:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Ruby is constantly lame due to a rotation of her coffin bone....the bone which goes into a horses hoof.

this is called founder, and is an extremely painful condition.

no cure is known...only temporary treatments which only offer a bit of comfort.
My mother and I have been treating her for over two years...we had to say goodbye christmas eve.
