Oh my goodness she’s heartbreakingly beautiful. Super model in horse form beautiful.
So the thing that would really upset me is not having a diagnosis. It’s the thing I would still be thinking about in 10 years time late at night. So I’d MRI her which I would pay off weekly/monthly providing her pain is manageable, ie pain free whilst arranging an mri to be carried out. If she’s in pain now that can’t be managed I would be calling it a day today.
I had my horse pts at Newmarket when we found out he was a wobbler and likely to be in considerable pain. It was agony losing him and I hadnt developed the relationship you have with your beautiful mare, we hadn’t had him long and he was with my trainer. But I sleep at night knowing that nothing more could be done for him and as soon as I had all the facts he was put to sleep.
I think sod the bf, he should be supporting you not moaning about things he knows nothing about. My OH is a horror at times but he would totally support me in your situation and he might be worried about the finances but he wouldn’t allow that to cloud the judgement for doing the right thing first of all for your mare and then for you. But worry about him another day.
So in your shoes MRI, you need to be able to look back with peace of mind that you did everything you could.
