Location: OH | Had to put my best colt down from this years crop, to top it off he was out of my matriarch mare that is 22 so the clock is ticking on how many more I will get out of her. We were going to leave this boy a stud to start the next generation---just gonna have to take a step back, take a deep breath and regroup. Sucks though.

About a week and a half ago he was off on his right rear and we checked his temp and it was 104 so we called the vet. Ended up he had infection in his stifle so we drained and injected with antibiotics and proceeded daily. We weren't making any headway then he developed a cough and come to find he had pneumonia and it was feeding the stifle infection. We hit it with everything and anything and couldn't get in front of it and then yesterday his counts went skyrocketing and this morning it had spread to his hock. |

Oh man I hated to hear this, poor baby, you did what you could for him but sometimes it was just not meant to be.. Next year will be a better year for you , is the mare already bred back? |

Congratulations on that good news at least. Are these the same genetics as your baby was? |

Poor baby---never heard of that. I'm nursing my old girl (14), knowing any day now is her last. Pretty sure it's a brain tumor. I just sent Sean to the grocery store for chickens to boil for her. Her appetite is still there! I'm sitting here watching the Weather Channel and Irma, and just so emotional over all the havoc that Mother Nature is throwing at us (storms and water and wind and fires) as well as thinking about my Wonder. . . . Sorry y'all . . . .

Well---they did somewhat over the weekend.
One of our horses is PA NBHA State Champ and another one got Reserve Champion.
So discouraged on Friday and then a weekend like this lets us know why we breed horses.
