Unhappy should i put my old horse to sleep now?

god,been putting this of for a while now,cally is 33,she has bad arthritis/ringbone allround,during the summer months when living out she seems fine,she moves around the field ok,during the winter when it gets colder se stats to stiffen up,when stabled(which unfortunatly we have to)she gets even worse,needing anti inflammatries/pain killers so she can just walk
do i put her through another winter,or should i say goodbye now i think even if i find somewhere where she can be out 24/7 the cold weather will stll get into her bones and cause suffering
should i be drugging her up just so she can walk??? who am i doing it for?her or me?every winte that passes she comes out worse,needs loads of hardfeeds to maintain any bodyweight.
she has gone down in the fileld and stable and only just managed to get up,needing my oh to shove her bum once.
what do i do??
