Turkeygirl Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Putting my old gelding down this coming weekend....He's had many good years and better now on a nice day then to let him continue to decline and risk him going down in the snow or getting sick....Despite feeding efforts, he continues to lose weight and has a bump on his nose that has slowly grown. I've known time has been coming but doesn't make it any easier.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry to hear that Ruth. Had to have our gelding put down a few years ago, toughest part was with the kids. He was 26 years old, I got him green broke when he was about 4 years old in 1990. Our youngest daughter loved that horse, he was a real good one taught my oldest and the wife how to ride.

Turkeygirl Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Going to be at work today when my horse is put down...kind of planned it that way, been a hard week going in the barn and seeing my horse, knowing what has to be done....can't bare to be there when the vet comes. I'm thankfully the nice weather the last couple days - let my horse go out and graze in the yard...apples and carrots...Had him for 15 years....
