Think I have got caught up on everything here. Have not been on much this last couple of days. The horse that was my Harry horses field companion had to be put to sleep this morning
He was 28 and very arthritic and got down and just could not get back up again. No strength in his back end at all. Tried all day yesterday to get him on his feet but in the end he had just given up you could see it in his eyes. Colic had started too this morning when the vet came and he had a very elevated heart rate. I've looked after him pretty much as my own over the last couple of years so it's a very sad loss. Harry horse is upset too, screamed his head off when I fetched him in this afternoon to ride and his buddy was not there. I am bribing him in the field with hay to keep him quiet even though he can see others around him. Much more settled out in the field though.
