Euthanasia. It’s such a hard topic to think about, much less have a frank discussion about. There are always situations where the answer is so clear… a catastrophic injury with no hopes of recovery. A senior horse that goes down and just can’t get back up. A starved pony, too far
gone to be saved.

“Better a day too early than a day too late.”

“Pick a nice day, with their favorite things, and make that be the day.”
