Remember clueless here?!
They said that because he has to have his teeth floated, has some sores in his mouth a abscess on his frog (?)
That no vets will put him to sleep so basically they can’t float his teeth is the biggy from what I understand.
He’s pretty skinny from winter but he’s got most of our property to feed from now ( he’s our lawnmower) so I guess it’s the floating of the teeth.
As we say in the South, 'Bless your heart"....you don't have a clue do you???
What they told you is a LOAD OF SHITE!!!
First off...you don't put horses ' to sleep' to float teeth. They will just kinda dope'em up a bit to make them easier to handle, that 's ALL!!! 30- 45 minutes at the most....deals over and done with. It's just a horse version of getting your teeth cleaned.
Second, if my horse had not developed a bone infection...he'd still be here and he was 37 yrs old and going strong till that injury AND still getting his teeth floated!!
Fix them teeth up and he won't be skinny.
I swear, people are just too damn lazy at times to put the effort in to taking care of any animal. They just hunt excuses to get rid of them when a few things might go wrong.
I'm not calling you down , but to me it seems a bit odd that you have to have a license to fix hair and hunt deer....but anyone, untrained or whatever, can have kids and own critters!!!!
Ok...I'm done now!
