Re: [RC] putting down a horse - Dyane Smith

I have six of my best buddies buried in my yard.  All were tranquilized

a sleepy horse sagging to the ground.  It was over and done in less than a
minute and I do not feel that any of them suffered in that minute.  I hope
this brings comfort to those that have choices to make.


I've only seen one horse put down, but it went very differently.  The vet
asked me to step back, he administered the shot (which he told me was a
massive tranquilizer overdose) and the horse fell to the ground dead
instantly.  Don't they use that method anymore?
