My Stallion Alamos Echo Ultra Buckeroo crossed the rainbow Bridge today, in-route to Purdue University Vet Hospital. I had Echo for only 2 months. I was so proud of owning a horse with a pedigree, Echo had so much personality. He loved fresh shavings in his stall and when he would want lovings, he would stick his tongue out at you. I just "Clicked with this Horse". He was to be my show horse. I wanted to make a grand entrance finally.
Then suddenly last week he fell ill. I had 2 vets come out and look at him. I was told, he had Shipping fever, or may be Strangles or maybe West Nile. They took blood and said they would call. Today I made up my mind to haul him to Purdue. I called and told them I was coming, we made it to exit 160 on I-65 and I felt him fall in the trailer. We were only 12 miles from Purdue when he passed on. I'm so angry, I'm so depressed. There are so many what-ifs, am I being punished for being so Proud of something. Everyone has been telling me that everything happens for a reason. What reason ? We have had a hard spring already. My dog dies of old age, my neighbors dog killed 2 of my baby goats, we had damage by all the storms, and now my horse dies. WHY ????? I worked so hard looking and scouring the country for a horse, I spent all of my savings on him and now it's all gone. All I can do is cry. I'm so sorry I had to vent here, but I don't have anyplace else to go or anyone to talk to.
