 Yesterday I was sick so I didn't go to work!! My dad had went to the barn to water the horses. A few minutes later he came running in the house and said that our 8 month old stud colt had broke his leg. We couldn't get the vet to come out and put him down properly so my dad had to do it!! It broke my heart that such a beautiful creature with so much potential had to die before it really had a chance to live!! But i guess thats the life of a farmer it always has its ups and downs!!

Oh man! I'm so sorry terri, that must have been heart breaking! And the fact that you were sick and your dad had to put the poor foal down... it really is too bad that so many horses die every year because their legs are so weak. I will be praying for his soul for you!

Oh dear. My heart goes out to you and your father. I had a similar situation happen with an appaloosa filly I had. No one knows how it feels unless they have had it happen to them. Heart break is a small way to describe it for sure.
