Someone mentioned his happiness and I have have to say this horse is happy enough and definitely not in any obvious pain or grumpy in the stable or anything like that it is more like he has some sort of mental illness as today he is like butter wouldn't melt, but I know that wont last regardless of any management approach.
You guys have also made a good point regarding the handling when turned away; I wouldn't expect anyone else to do so and as it is 20mins would have to go up once a week to check him (12 live out on 30 acres) so no others regularly brought in but I have to admit I wouldn't be looking forward to bringing him in for farrier ect he would go beserk coming away from the others.
Could anyone let me know what would happen if I did decide to pts?
I was thinking the hunt would be a more suitable option as the horse is terrible with needles.
Do you think it is best to have them take him away to do it as that way I dont have to be present plus my other two horses wouldnt have to witness it.
Or is it kinder to do it at home. And if so what is the risk of distressing the other two?
