Sorry to here about your loss, I can feel for you. I lost my horse "Tonka" this spring He foundered. Good news is once you can start looking past your loss there are a lot of Horses out there that can start the healing. I just bought a 4 1/2 year old horse that will never take old Tonka spot, but is a lot of fun.

Not good!! Sorry to hear. Know how you feel.
We had to get rid of 2 horses this yr. My daughters were devestated. But they knew the end result wouldn't be good. They were 26 and 29 yrs old. Got them new ones right away and the pain has gone away some.

That sucks T/A. Hard for us tough guys but for kids it's brutal. Time will heal all. Good luck buddy.

Let me know if you want a replacement, my sister has 2 registered
QH's I can probably give to you! 1 is about 10 and he is perfect for kids, can do anything. the other is a beautiful gray that has been ridden, but, needs
a little more work (he is about 5). My niece is big into team roping, etc and has too many horses to ride (6).

was it sand or impaction

thanks so much-i'll think on that offer and talk it over with my wife---but she's in NY visiting family--i really appreciate the offer---great people on this site--even though we dig and jab at each other when it comes down to it we're all pretty human--thank again--going to be some tough days ahead for Emily

No rush, I'm working in Fla for about 6 more weeks, I just hate seeing these
horses not being ridden.
