What are everyone’s thoughts and opinions on putting a horse to sleep due to your financial situation?
I have a 22 year old warmblood that I’m struggling to afford, I couldn’t sell or loan him as he isn’t ridden due to arthritis. He’s also struggling to keep condition on and is suspected to have cushings (waiting for test results to confirm).
I love my old boy to bits, but I feel it’s unfair to ship him off to someone else. He’s gone from home to home his whole life and has finally found a steady home with me for the last 7 years. It’s just that worrying so much about him and the money is taking its toll on me and I feel like I’m really struggling to stay afloat.
Is it kinder to pts now while he’s still happy and (relatively) healthy?
