Re: should i put my old horse to sleep now?
I think u have made an exremely brave informed decision. It is the last kind thing that u can do for her. We had our blood pts 2 years ago for exactly the same reasons, he was in pain and not enjoying life at all. At least she is loved and has been well cared for. Lots of hugs

Re: should i put my old horse to sleep now?
I agree with what has been said before. It is the toughest call ever to have to make but you are putting her needs before your own and it does sound like the time has come as she is obviously struggling; but it doesn't make it any easier for all that being said.
I am so sorry. Will be thinking of you.

Re: should i put my old horse to sleep now?
I'm so very sorry. I couldn't possibly comment on your decision she's your girl and only you and your vet know what's best for her. I'll be thinking of you both on tuesday and wish her a safe speedy journey to the bridge.

You are being very brave, it is a really hard decision to make, sadly one I have had to make far too often. You are making the right decision, don't ever doubt that. My thoughts are with you both, sending much love and reiki xxxx

Re: should i put my old horse to sleep now?
I'm sure you are doing the best thing for her. I will be thinking of you on tuesday.
Many years ago I took on an old pony from a riding school that I worked at to retire him. The riding school owner said he only had 6 months left in him. He had arthritis in his back legs but was never lame or showed any sign of pain. Six years after taking him on I decided to let hm have the summer sun on his back then have him PTS at the end of the summer. We had a late summer that year and the decision was taken from me one october day when we went to the field and found him dead. He had had a heart attack. He had never spent the winter in the field until I had him and at the age of 39 spent his first winter out in the field. He had a shelter and wore 2 stable rugs with a newzealand on top to keep him warm and he loved it. We found him one day charging round the field like a 2 year old jumping into the middle of big snow drifts. He was thought to be at leats 43 when he passed away.
