Today we had to euthanize my best horse--Galant Ambush. she was a good horse. She was 22 years old--up there for a horse--but she never had a sick day in her life. She had a broken shoulder. It all started with a cut on her neck that infected the bone which weakened it and caused the break. All this happened within this month. So fast! The vet cut open her leg/shoulder after she put her down and there was the break and then she found pus in the bone marrow--so there ya go. she called it Osteomyelitis.
She was my horse and used to be a gaming horse so Kylee was barrel racing and gaming her. They were just clicking as a good team and now this. Too Sad. MB

I feel very sad for you and your family. I didn't know she was 22, she looked like a young horse. Kylee must be so upset, as well as yourself. Had you had her all 22 years?

I am sorry, this must have been terrible for both of you. She was a beautiful horse. I don't care what age, it is always too soon for our friends to leave us.

I'm so sorry to hear about your horse. She's very pretty and didn't look 22 years old.
