Had to put our horse down, this evening

[James Snover]

My wife's horse had to have colic surgery day before yesterday. He was getting better. But today around 2:00PM, he took a turn for the worse and went down hill fast. When he could no longer get back on his feet, we made the decision to put him down. He was 20 years old, and my wife had him for 19 of those years. She is just totally grief stricken.

Wow James that is terrible news. I wish you and your wife the best.

Sorry about that. It's very hard to deal with losing a beloved animal or pet. Been there before and each experience is as heartbreaking as the previous.

Sorry to hear that James, I'd always heard colic surgery was a 50/50 shot at best, sorry to hear it didn't work out.

Very sorry for your wife and for you, James. I can only imagine how attached she was to have to put him down. Sad.

Will she get another horse?

I can image the grief after having an animal that long. Condolences.

Sorry to hear James. My mom, grandmother and aunt all had horses when I was growing up, it's a real heart breaker when they lose their horse

Or sometimes worse than the last.

Sorry for your loss friend.

Thanks, Bob. She'll have another one within 3 months, is my bet. Cant see her going too long without one.

That Dale Carnegie course just keeps on reaping benefits for you, huh?

Sorry for your loss James. That's the best remedy in my opinion, glad she can love and be loved by a new member of the family soon.

Sorry for your loss. Remember all the good times.


Maybe too late to get a hoof print now, but our son did this before we put our last dog to sleep. I see it everyday and it makes me smile.

^^ have one of those on a shelf above my desk in my home office that my wife did from our 17yr old lab before we had to say goodbye.
