Situation is as follows. I have a beloved horse who is now 20. I have owned him for 2 years. In the past he damaged his check ligament badly and in feb damaged his superficial flexor tendon on the same leg. He had been out of work for 2 years when I got him and was bought back into fitness very slowly over a year. The tendon went just out hacking. He is about 2/10ths lame, but has never been entirely sound since I've had him. He has an issue with iodine levels and has a goitre. He also has COPD and colics sometimes.
SO...he is on a livery yard. He would hate to be in a field by himself again. I don't think he will ever be ridden as I don't think his leg will take it. I am seriously thinking maybe it is time to PTS. I am rapidly running out of money and cannot afford to have him boxrested/scanned etc again. What would you do in my position?!
Please be nice, I love this horse to bits and all I am after peoples viewpoints.
