Re: [RC] [RC] horse slaughter - Rebecca Fabiszak

I would not send him or a horse of mine to slaughter either but some do not have an option.  I do still remember the story that I read here, on Ride Camp, about the beautiful horse at the meat auction that a man bought for his daughter only to have the horse kick his daughter in the head and kill her. Where do those horses go, for re-training?  Beccy

>> And then there are the horses that are not loveable, or even
likeable, that have wreaked havoc on each of their owners, bucking,
biting, barn sour,  kickers,  that have never had a long term home
because no one wants to keep  them after they are injured, or maybe
the owners are in fear that their  family may be injured by the horse

Agreed. Been there...done that. Just last year, I put down my
once-in-lifetime horse due to a brain abscess that left him totally
dangerous. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life
as a horse owner, but there was no way in hell that I was going to
ship Wizard to slaughter.   Even at the end of his life, when I feared
him...he deserved a death...at home, with me holding the lead line.
And yes...I paid the rendering truck.
