Hey all...
Much to my sorrow, my TB mare passed away yesterday morning.
She was fine when I fed her the previous evening, and I didn't see
sighns of any ill health. In the morning when I went out, she was just
keeled over, I would say she had been dead for about 2 hours. There were no
signs of wounds or stress.
She was 8 years old and in good health. I know there is no way to ever know
for sure, but does anyone have any theories about why or how this might have
happened? My best theory is a really fast v colic. What kind of poisonous
plants, if any this fast acting, can be found in hay in northern CA?
Sorry to pass on this depressing news, but any ideas would be met with thanks.
