I get this but if the OPs financial situation hadn't changed would the horse have been PTS? Probably not otherwise the question wouldn't have been raised. The leads me to believe the OP doesn't believe he's in pain.I often read posts about horses with mobility issues wondering why so many people don't understand that arthritis is not just a mechanical stiffness. Any human with it will tell you that no painkiller will remove it completely, and it hurts like hell. Horses with mobility issues due to arthritis are in pain. Retired or in work, if they are stiff, they are in pain.
OP in your situation, I would put your old horse down, no question.
