I Know its not belong in general thread .....

About one hour less ago I got a aim from my neighbor Mike , his horse's board and there filly had what mike and owner thought was a broken or dislocated leg. I drove over and sure enough, :shock: this beautiful, promising three-year-old white arabain filly ( very nice dish face !) had broke her leg just above the knee. :(
wasn't a mark on her, we walked the small field and found no hole, or area that she might have fallen into, no break in the fence - nothing! All we can figure out is that she was playing and took a wrong step. So Mike and I stayed with her and put the filly down with the vet while the neighbor (owner) went to the home.
she raised this filly from a baby. just the sweetest, nicest filly.. This is killing me. I can only image how hard it is for her. And I was having such a good day too. So now Later today ..... Mike and other men are going to haul the horse out of the pasture for the pick-up while the neighbor is leaving to her sister house so she doesn't have to deal with it anymore than she has to.

I just went home with fully soak from rain then I got off my truck and run to my backyard and grab my Mare Rosie' mane then hold hard hug her and outburst Crying. because I am raised Rosie since she was 6 months old filly and now 7 years old..............sooo I just got out of shower and dry clothes :ugh: :( :cry:

My boyfriend is working until really late and can't be around to be my shoulder to cry on. I'm just trying to hold it together for my neighbor. Thanks for taking the time to "listen"

Phillips :cry:
 
Now I am crying too. I am so sorry for this to happened. I wish there is a way to save the horse but I know it cant be in any way and the poor horse have suffer enough. My heart and thought are with you and your neighbor.
 
I'm very sorry for you and your friends. :hug:
 
I am sorry to hear this. It is so difficult. I wish that she shouldn't give it up because my sister has a horse, and her leg was broken or dislocated from a horse race. She was rescued and moved to her farm. Her horse was sent to a horse treatment program. It took 9 months for the horse back normal. Now, I still see the horse at her farm. Her horse health bill isn't cheap. She made the choice to save the horses.
 
I am very sorry about that... One of my friend recently lost her horse too... She cried alot...
 
I'm so sorry to hear this; my condolences.

You are not alone. My sister had a favorite horse two years ago. She was passed away. I understand how you feel about it. She decided not to put a picture in her house. She just goes on her life, and keep her busy. My friend had one, and she has to keep her busy without thinking of her horse, too.
 
yea hurry up I will forget about it! or remove picture in my mind :(:(
 
I'm sorry to hear about your horse... I send my condolences to you and your neighbor.
 
sorry to hear about the horse.. Its always sad to hear about the animal having to be put to sleep.. :(
 
So sorry!!!

I know how that feels!!! Must be hard on them for not able to afford to try to save them..eh? Just wonder tho but still hurt knowing ur friend had her down... which is bad enough to loss!! I hate that cuz I love horse and I once had owned a horse but sold to my good friend due to not enough $$$ for both pasture and my college that time!! I love mine... but do not know if she still alive but I know that she must be passed away cuz that was long time ago when I was young! But then who know lol....

I am very sorry for ur loss by ur friend's horse's death... hugss.. be strong for ur friend to be comfort! Poor horses so helpless and trying to be save... very hard! Sighs I hate that...
 
My aunt had to give up her horse years ago when she moved. I don't know what happened to her horse, but it was many years ago when I was a kid.
