just got an email from my mom, she just had one of our horsies put down. he was gettin on in age and he couldn't keep weight on and they just found a issue with his heart. with winter coming he most likely would have died of cold / hunger. so they made the decision to put him down rather than let him suffer.

never can get over the fact it costs over a $1000 to put a horse down ...

for an old fart he was pretty cool though
