No, Raven, your case is not the type of horse that I’m referring to. Your horse was a good horse, was loved & cared for, served you well, then got sick (tumor). I’m talking about the horse that never is considered a good horse, gets passed around to unwitting owners. No one ever really cares much about the horse because they soon find out that the horse was misrepresented to them and they try for awhile to make it work, the horse finally ends up to be too dangerous to be around. What do you propose be done with these horses?

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.
