I'm not that complacent about bow
hunters. I have a 25yr old TB with an
enormous scar on his hindquarters.
He was hit by a bow hunter when he
was 8. Something over 600 stitches
to put him back together. He was
lucky that he was owned by a 15 yr
old girl (his previous owner) who
adored him, and wouldn't accept the
vet's recommendation that he be put
down. He's a 16h dark bay and was
turned out with a gray TWH in a
small paddock attached to a barn right
behind a house. There are woods
nearby, but this is hardly a wilderness
area.
And my great aunt lost a nice mare
back in the late 1960s to blood
poisoning after she was hit by birdshot
and the vet didn't manage to get
all the pellets removed.
best,
Deanna
