I sold a horse 22 years ago to an amazing lady.. she loved him and treasured him and he loved her.. we got the horse from an auction house and since the auctioneer knew us and knew what kind of horses we were looking for .. he lowered the hammer.. home he came.. what a wonderfully trained horse.. mannerly and trustworthy. The buyer came to me looking at another horse and this chestnut was being bathed as he was just ridden.. she looked at him and said she had to have him.. he took her everywhere.. riding alone often bareback thru the woods..
fast forward to the past few months.. he was blind in one eye and loosing his sight in the other.. she did not care he was in his little area and he was happy. beginning of april he started to act acky,,, her vet suggested pain killers and something for arthritis.. i told her to go easy on the pills and let him find his spot.. toward the end of april he did not want to come out of his shed.. he began rocking and trying to keep the weight off his feet. she did have the vets out 3 times in a week.. today april 26 she put him down.. the vet showed her the coffin bone was so rotated that it was coming out of his sole.
rest easy Caviliar ,, you served her well and she loved you
perhaps it could have been prevented.. we will never know.
