It has been hard to gather up the courage to post a couple of images of one of my horses which passed recently.
We only had our brood mare for a few years (we bought her when she was 4) ... she was not in a good way and picked up further out in the country for a good price. We brought her home and she picked up well and really runed out to be a nice little mare.
We were looking at breeding with her soon since her condition has really come good ... especially with lush paddocks the last couple of years with good rains.
She had unfortunately died from a ruptured bowel ... she had no signs of colic during the day or the previous day. We had gone to the hosptial earlier in the day as my wife and I attended pre-natal classes. We got home to see her in distress. Long story short ... the vet came in the late afternoon and gave us the diagnosis after a fair bit of testing. This sort of thing is not treatable really. If anyone has an idea on equine anatomy, their digestive system is not designed too well.
She passed that evening while the vet was at our place.
We miss her dearly.
