I’ve had two horses PTS - one with navicular in both front feet who “would have had a life as a companion” according to the vet (except he attacked any other horse he was turned out with)
The other was a gorgeous little TB who was an ex-racing pony, it had totally blown his brain and although fundamentally sound he didn’t have any quality of life. So I made the decision for him.
I would never judge anyone for making the right decision for their animal - goodness knows we see far too many examples of horses “sold on” or “loaned” who end up in dreadful circumstances
