Hi,
I’m looking for some advice on what people think is best to do with my pony.
I’ve had him 5 years and he has been my best friend however around 6 months ago he broke his splint bone and needed an operation to fix it. Our insurance didn’t cover us for as much as we thought so we spent every last penny we had on his op however he is now lame and they are saying the only way to fix this is to have another op which we were not informed about at the start. We are now almost completely out of money so we cannot afford the operation and he has a large character and gets difficult to manage on box rest.
My two options are to put him out in a field with my other pony who is also lame at the moment but should recover soon, or have him pts.
If I was to put him in a field there is a chance that he will get upset as he doesn’t really enjoy being out 24/7 however we cannot afford to keep him stabled. He is only 10 and it is a heartbreaking decision but I need to know what would be best.
Also he cannot be sold on or put on full Loan as he can be a handful and I believe with a different owner he would become worse. Me and my pony have a very strong bond and I would hate to put him through stress x
