We had to put our beloved Slater down yesterday and it was so difficult! He has been the official greeter to visitors at our farm for many years! He formed deep attachments to our mares, even trying to jump out of his stall to get to Abby in the ring because she was too far away! He had a puppy dog personality and was one in a million.
Some how he managed to break his jawbone and developed an infection we could not treat effectively. The vet said it would not mend, even with surgery. So thus the difficult, heart breaking decision. Lots of tears from his people and an empty spot in our hearts today. It comforts me to know he is in heaven with all of his dear friends!
