Had the vet out again to day for both my horses, the pony who is now 36 years old and who I have owned ( or did he own me ?) for 33 years and my 22 year old Arab .
The pony has been out to grass for 6 year and a companion horse and his health has declined over the last 12 months to the point were the vet has now told me that it's time to have him put down .
My Arab (17h2 , he's a big old boy) and ive owned him for 18 years health took a turn for the worst , and going into winter just could not get his weight up and eating and getting fat has been one of his life time loves . To cut to the chase the vet took blood samples last week and the results are saying he has a blood disease , can't remember what the vet said it was . Basically he's loosing weight and keeps falling over . Nothing they can do , and advised to have him put down for his own good .
Friday is the day , got a jcb booked for the morning so I can dig two big holes rather than them going for pet food and the vets due at 10:30 . I'm not going to be there , call me coward but no way .
A sad day , my kids have learnt to ride on them , I've ridden them most days, been through a lot together .
