It's a bobber...

sorry to hear this. I had three bad years in a row a few years back and wondered when it would end. I hope this is the last bad news for a good while for you. It's so doubly unfair when it's such a young horse.
 
Arghh as another member of the serial crook horses club I'm so sorry to read this. We've been here before over the years and it never gets any easier. You have my complete sympathies.

So sorry to read this. Sending hugs.

The problem is, is it’s a vicious (virtuous, maybe? if you’re brave enough to see it that way) cycle, if you’re a certain type of person. You have one that breaks, you go through the process of investigations and work ups, you learn along the way. You have another, what you learnt before alerts you to small signs you otherwise might not have noticed. You’re that certain type of person that won’t ignore those signs. You go through the process again, you learn more.. and so it repeats.

I sometimes wish I could be one of those that trundles along in blissful ignorance of the subtle lameness, subtle behavioural issues etc. But I’m not.

The room is not a room for those damned with broken horses. It’s a room for those blessed with knowledge and with the guts/strength to act on it for the best outcome for our lovely animals.... but I’ll have a seat in there too, please, and agree that it totally and utterly sucks 😥

Sending more hugs MrsM x

Very true. My vet told me I 'have an eye for lameness'. I'm not exactly sure what they meant by that tbh. At the time I felt they were saying I noticed things that other people would have ignored and perhaps ignoring it wouldn't be a bad thing..... (I am about to change vets!!)

3 ... the number of overly expensive lawnmowers I have at the moment. 1 the number of horses that actually can do some work. Does this qualify me for a seat?

. I'd say yes, although one of mine isn't actually allowed to mow the lawn which makes her even more complicated to own. So I'm having the seat with a cushion!
 
I'm not on here very often anymore MrsM but remember in the past all the heartaches with horses you went through so am sorry to read you are having to go through it again.
 
Thank you.

Sorry I've not responded to all individually. Brain a bit fused. All words are much appreciated. Just tired. Tired of caring and of crying and just tired of being tired.

Ignore my pity party. It'll pass. Worse things happen to better people, which isn't actually a comfort but I'm sure there's some point to it.
 
The point is, though, you feel it so keenly because you care so deeply. And that makes you one of the better (best, in fact) people. xxx
 
Oh, MrsM! I am so very sorry.

You must be exhausted. I know life isn't fair but this really isn't! And as for your earlier remark: worse things may happen, but as for 'better' people? Hardly. You're one of life's rare diamonds, hence my 'not fair' comment.

I truly hope your run of bad luck has passed now, because you sure do deserve some peace, good health and happiness.

Gentle hugs to you.

I'm so sorry :( That's just rubbish - poor pony, but at least he's got an owner who's done the responsible thing. Just rotten for you xx
