I wanted to ad, please when your heart is on the mend, please share your story. I know we feel like lousy owners or that we will get judged when these things happen. It may take several months until you are feeling up to sharing. It took me months to even reach out to discuss my mares freak injury which caused her to loose her eye, but it not only helps you heel, it gives insight on how to expect the unexpected. Things happen unfortunately, structural defects or faults can pose risks, horses can innocently get into trouble, they eat things they shouldn't or things that were deemed safe, but weren't ( lost a weanling to an impaction caused by pelletized bedding several years back) and, as in my casewith the mare that lost her eye, 30 seconds was all it took, 30 seconds I wish I could take back and she would still have her eye.
Praying your heart finds a way to mend.
