There is a gorgeous black and white shire gelding just down the road from me. He lives at a rescue place. He is fourteen yrs old and could be so pretty. I thought he was a Clydesdale but they say shire. Anyway, I offered to buy him since he's been there at least a year or two and some of their horses don't look so great. I hadn't seen him since winter and he looked thin then even with winter hair on. Saw him a couple of days ago and I was horrified. They even have him in a small paddock up front for all to see. They claim that he had a cap break off and he got a bad infection, that they are working with the vet.
But this couldn't have just happened, are teeth infections really that hard to clear up?
By the way, they won't sell him and say he is so sweet and pulls a wagon and works with the disabled and elderly. Ya cause he probably has no energy.
I know I shouldn't judge......................just wanted to vent, he has been on my mind for a long time and I was so shocked when I saw him again. My hay guy takes hay there too and said how bad the horses looked so I went over there.
