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..

Thank you. I feel like a truck as hit me. I just cannot believe he is gone. Only a week ago(less even) he was perfectly fine. I keep going out to check on our mare.. she seems ok.. agitated.. she whinnied at me.. when i came around the side of the propertly(viewable from the barn) she never...

Thank. Yes, i think a gelding would be best, she's definitely an alpha mare.. she really was the boss over him lol she's a B mini, he's a A. I have no idea on aging though? I'm glad to hear it helps if there present for the death.. i feel so badly for her. We're checking on her often...

Thank you. I have no idea.. we will certainly keep an eye. I don't know what we do for her, as we never been in this postion. My mother had horses for decades but only a single horse as she boarded. We're hoping the breeder can advise. He was a lovely, lovely horse.. i mean i know we all think...

Our pair was 2yrs from The start of June. They were from the same breeder, kept together when by there mares sides and then kept together after they were weaned and brought here. Our stallion.. went into colic.. he has done this before impaction. The vet was out yesterday.. we couldn't save...

They address that in the F.A.Q "Will the flashing light be annoying to my neighbors or alarm my own livestock? A: No. Livestock, pets and any other domestic animals ignore the flash. It is not an annoying strobe type flash therefore will not attract undue attention; however predators see it...
