Sad news today. After 9 months with us, we had to make a very sad decision on consultation with STC vets. Just signed the consent form for Dillon’s euthanasia. It’s very very sad and it would be wonderful if he could live out his days with us but unfortunately we are not at such liberty with public funds when there could be other horses that come in the future who can use the funds and be re-homed and honestly we don’t have that much funds either. Further the vet was not sure if Dillon isn’t in some discomfort. He’s old and creaky and may not be that happy either. Feel very sad to say good bye to a long life but its going to be quiet peaceful ending for him with lethal injection and a burial. Some dignity in death. Although I should add I was berated for wanting to shoot the horse and sending it to the zoo to be fed. For whatever reason someone got the wrong end of the stick and decided to accuse me before finding out the truth no actually she did but than she accused me of lying to her … go figure. Derek on the other hand is going to STC RDA which is just the most perfect thing for him. He has bounced back well and is completely sound and this job is perfect for him. At least there is some joy in this. The good thing is that Dillon got to run around in Awana for his last days and be free and happy. Good bye to a noble gentle creature that taught so many at Kiara how to ride!
