Well this horse that i acquired 10 years ago has foundered.. i knew he was a bit off a while ago and had him looked at.. nothing noticed.. just feed him and let him go about his business.
well the other day on the hard frozen mud he was off on two fronts.. kept him inside where it was soft and his appetite is great and drinking.. turned him out again and is off on all 4s, so i have decided to put him down.. later this week.. not fair to him to start with xrays and boots and medication only to have him break thru and than i have more of a situation that i could have prevented.. he is about 31,, loved for all this time and never rode him more than 5 or 6 times.. just a good old boy.. sad for him.. but he will be loved and fed until the day..
