been in the exact same position.we had an old horse that had been on the same farm for 35 years.and she was 3 or 4 when we bought her. so old she had no teeth,could barely see,the only thing she could eat was a mash made out of oatmeal.(which she got four times a day,EVERY day)the only reason we didnt put her down was all the kids and grandkids in family had rode her.no way you could fatten her up .some one saw her standing in shade beside barn and turned us in.sherriff deputy showed up with some city dude,and started acting like we was scum for torturing the poor beast.I calmly picked up my 45 walked up to her and with them watching shot her between the eyes.when the city boy quit puking,he didnt say word..used to you could at least get something for those old worthless animals that never would make a good horse because they were deformed at birth or something but now you have no option but to pay a vet to put them down,..By the way,I WILL NEVER,own another horse!all the others were sold the next weekend.i dont want to feed one for 35 years and then have to shoot it because of someones elses stupidity.could I have let them take her,yes certainly could have,could i have paid a vet to put her down,yep could have done that to,would she have survived the trip to town in a trailer? doubtful you could have forced her into one.she hadn't been in one for 35 years and then only once,when we hauled her home as a young horse.And more importanly that deputy is now the sherriff and near retirement his self..told me once a few years later he never went out on a cruelty call again that he didnt remember that day,and he always found out afterwards the whole story not just looked at apperances.It appeared that I was abusing that horse,even though there was 4 more in same pasture rolling fat.didnt matter to them when I tried to explain about horses and old age.all they saw was a poor skinny horse.And you are absolutly right,most people who move to country have NO clue of taking care of any animal and have no buisness owning one in the first place.
