Growing up i looked after a 36 year old horse called Red. He was the same. Lived on Bute, ate tonnes to keep weight on him, was stiff and in obvious pain. His owners refused to have him put down. He was suffering and had no quality of life.

One day he went down in the field and that was it. We couldnt get him back on his feet. I felt he should have had his suffering stopped months, even years before that.

Better a day too early, than a day too late.
