I think you are a wonderful person Kristi. You loved this horse, you did everything within your means to care for him and you found help for him - probably after a long search. Don't let the mean comments get to you. Sometimes comments sound a lot meaner than they were meant to because it's hard to convey emotion in writing. Everybody feels your pain one way or another.

One thing about this board and group of equestriennes is that they are the most supportive and non-judgemental group you will ever meet. You did right by your horse and sought help from SAFE and that is what we are here for. Welcome to the group and I do hope you stick around!

Kristi, it sounds like you did everything you could for the handsome boy, and no amount of feed, love or want could make him better. Thank you for taking the initiative to find SAFE and doing what was best for him in the end. May you find peace in the good memories you have of him and the knowledge that he is in a better place. I would love to see pictures of him in his glory days when you get a chance. Hugs to you, it's never easy even if it's for the best.

I will personally thank you, Kristi, for doing what you could to help him! When we got our last rescue, Maggie, she looked like he did when you put him down. We were able to get some weight on her, but in the end, the vet said there was likely some underlying condition. We tried for three more months to put weight on her, knee deep in hay, fresh grass, and grain. We also had to put Maggie down. In the end, sometimes the best thing you can do is let them go.
Thank you for coming to SAFE when you knew there was nothing else you could do. I'm sending my prayers and a hug to your family. It's never easy, but always best.
