Re: [RC] Deaths - the list - Susan Young CaseyIf, God forbid, my beloved horse died at a ride, I'm SURE I'd want to know why. So, how much does an autopsy cost? How much for "disposal"? I know I'm going to upset some with this comment but... As a foxhunter, we've had hounds killed (falling off a cliff, getting kicked by a horse, anurism (sp?)) and have left the hounds where they died or moved it to a secluded location. There has also been one horse death at a hunter pace where the horse suffered an anurism (pony clubber's mount...devestating) and we moved the mare to a nice spot and left her. We were "giving" back to nature what is nature's. This all happened on private property. However, this may not be allowed someplaces. So, cost again? Some of us can barely make it to and from the rides. Hope there's some kind of payment plan. ===== Susan Young Casey, Princess of Pink, LIW, RRHA, RHS Semper Obliquo (Always aside) Glenndale Grace Farm, Ft Gibson, Oklahoma U.S.A. "Ride on!
