Thank you. I am unaware of any rescues near me. I'll have to see if there are.

Ok i just meant i know people do. i never said i thought it was a good idea, personally i find that a rather hurtful response. I think i'll have this thread closed.

Oh dear, yes that was a concern of mine. Yes, i don't think the dynamics of it would work but i felt i should ask.. So sad.

Yes, a good statement... i didn't really like the idea but as i said i wanted to inquire.

Ok. Thanks for your thoughts. I gather people have had it go terribly wrong?

I am ending this thread. I was just inquiring as to whether i was correct with my thoughts and wanted some feedback.

LOL.. is there a shop one can get one of these? i usually do the hay myself Anyways, i stack my hay in the manner that best suits my short self.. in other words the easiest way for me to lift and cut...

Thanks. My mare is doing ok, she's eating.. she's restless though... times like this i wish we owned more horses. I am struggling .. it was so hard to do morning chores without him there to feed and touch. My oldest child(who was with him to) is dealing with all sorts of feelings.. she's angry...

Yes, that is what our breeder said, something younger a gelding or another mare. We're in the process of trying to find something. Sadly, we're not in a good position at the moment in way of funds to purchase another horse.. as clearly this was not our intent to at this time, however we will...

I believe your right. He died in his barn with his best friend beside him.. My older daughter was there when he passed as i had left to the house to frantically call help... She seems fairly steady.. as i said in another post eating/drinking etc.. It's all so sad.. they were so cute together...

No he didn't when he left on monday, his vitals were strong, only a slight fever.. he felt he wasn't bad off at all... he has impacted before he wasn't even 6mths when it first happened, we adjusted all our feeds then.. from grain right down to hay. At the time of his first impaction the vet had...

Thank you. There will always be a hole left, i cannot imagine not being able to touch and hear him again.. i don't know if there are... we're going to contact ours(breeder) tonight. I feel so robbed, he was so young.. it's so unfair.

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, we will be on the phone to our breeder tonight for advice, i'm sure he will be saddened by his passing, he was out of one of his stallions...

He was gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. We will get our mare someone, it would be totally unfair for her not to have that, they enjoyed each other greatly. I have such a pit in my stomach not only for my own feelings but for her's... it was just so sad..

Thanks, It helps to speak with people who do understand. It's such a unique relationship..
