Gruesome query

Well it was done today. I can recommend 'Resting Pets' the animal crematorium in Essex. The man was very efficient and good. They came on the lorry and were left on it until time. I unloaded one at a time and took them to the grass in front of the lorry. The feisty headshy one was first and she was fine with a bucket of food. I did hold her while he did it. I had enough after her and my lovely husband held the second one. It was very slick, they were both fairly calm. There was no sedation, nor IMO, was it needed. I wouldn't like to do it very often!

I am pleased to hear all went well for you, but I am astounded that a professional slaughterman allowed you to hold the horse when using a free bullet.
 
I mentioned to my OH when you said that last time and he said he has always held mine, I have never been there for a shooting before. The man ran through what would happen and I was next to him and I admit I turned away when he bought the gun up. Horse had its head in a bucket of food. So it seems quite standard around here.
 
Glad it went as well as it could for you. Just a quick note to say i was allowed to hold my boy right til the end too, that was with the hunt x
