[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 895020, member: 17956"] I've got a 23 year old horse on my place. Had him since he was 5. Used him for everything. Roped on him in competition on the weekends, and caught sick calves on him through the week. He taught the kids to ride, and tolerated them learning to rope. Hes as good a horse as I've ever owned, and as good a friend as I ever had. He is no longer rideable. With the exception of shoes I spend as much on him in a year as I do the young ones. If he was in pain I would put him down. He is not, but the bottom line is this. I would send him to slaughter if that were an option. In the end he is livestock. As it stands now I will feed, stall, and blanket him untill I think he is suffering. I'm not sure what that says about my ethics, but I know what the reality is. [/QUOTE]
