Silly thing but with our horse it was the tyre pressures, make sure they are correct

Don't forget several hats and body protectors - several of each in various sizes of course, that will need to be replaced (hats after every fall) and when the regulations change.

Total for me was just over £600 - no ashes - my daughter couldn't bear the thought of her pony being shot.

I suppose it was just the shock of seeing it in black and white - having spent time this morning cleaning out her stable (in this heat :( :( coming home to the bill and seeing the word just seemed to be the last straw. Again I cannot fault the vet or the disposal guy, both were efficient...

Having re-read my original post - I realise that it may come across as querying the cost of euthanasia which was not my intention - more as to the way the bill it set out - after all the 'medication' for the euthanasia is what it is - I don't see it as being necessary to set the euthanasia out...

Yep - same sort of figure -just surprised that it was set out the way it was - the vet was wonderful, as was the disposal company - the pony was my daughter's pride and joy for 18 years and she was given time to say goodbye before the pony was taken away.

Ok so just wanted to query something. First off let me say that I am no way complaining about the vet, who was superb when dealing with the planned euthanasia of my pony. I just wanted to see what other people paid for the service. Just a little background - much loved older pony with problems...

Whether you have enough money available to pay for everything - including that 'final decision' (did you win the lottery :) ) That every yard has at least one person who knows better than you/the vet/farrier etc but is really 'all the gear but no idea' That there will always be people who will...

Good luck with the move, I hope Dave settles well. It is the one time you realise how much 'stuff' you have though :) :)

Another dog owner here - IMHO ideally ban them or if not a very hefty fine at least £100 - Imagine if a dog with a long lead got loose, chased a horse and got its lead round the horses legs causing it to fall and break its leg resulting in euthanasia, what about injury to the rider. Would the...

Me too - actions will tell if he is genuine

Our WB is out 24/7 currently with a rug - she has access to as much hay as she wants and access to a field shelter which she never uses.
