[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1567476, member: 18945"] Welp, I don't have to worry about it now. The owner and 'caretaker' wouldn't make a decision or change and the horse died on their property last weekend. It got down in a low spot for the 2nd time in 3 weeks, and couldn't get up. They called me, so I went over & picked her up with 2 straps and a FEL, but she just never could get her feet under her this time. Too weak and too malnourished. Tried 3 times..no go. I laid her back down on dry ground, called the owner and he wanted me to call a vet to come out and euthanize the animal. I told him if that's what he wanted to do, call the vet himself otherwise, I was going to do it with a bullet. No sooner I said that, the horse looked up at me, rolled them eyes, let out a guttural sound and took it's last breath right then and there. It was almost as if it thought "Oh crap, that ol sob is gonna shoot me...I better just go ahead and die on my own". I hate it happened and wish they had let me take it over to my place back when it was still mobile.. [/QUOTE]
