We are sad to say.. this blizzard has been very tough on us..
We had a horse roll in the snow yesterday..and get stuck in a muddy area in the field.. he was unable to get himself up. After us attempting for a few hours to get him up ourselves.. we realized that we needed more help and contacted the city.. They sent the fire department, the police, and even the coast guard helped.. We were able to get the horse out of the hole He dug himself into, but he was extremely exhausted and unable to stand on his own at that time.. So in an attempt to let him rest and hopefully get himself strong enough to stand on his own. We took an 800 pound Bale of hay made a nice bed for him. Where he could be laid on and covered up with hay and blankets and straw and gave him to night to rest, hoping by morning, that he would be able to regain his strength and stand on his own... his temperature was monitored and he was not in the danger.Zone, for hypothermia, or anything like that..He was comfortable and resting peacefully..However, morning he was still unable to get himself up on his own.. he tried & tried...but still too weak..And at that point, the decision was made to have him humanely euphanized.. It is not a decision we take lightly and we did not want to make an irrational decision.. Last night after the horse had spent several hours Yesterday exhausting himself trying to get up.. we hoped and that giving him a little time to gain his strength back would make a difference.. We would never do anything to make any of our horses suffer, and we certainly did not want make the decision without giving him a chance until we exhausted all options.... we will miss him dearly as he has been a part of the carriage company for many years.And we were sad to see him have to go this way..
RIP ❤️ Diesel
