Re: [RC] The emotional side of losing your horse - Lynne Glazer - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFI honestly don't know what the laws are in my area about the burials, I never had to look into as the buried ones were not mine. And I think you are correct that if there ARE carcasses buried on property, it would have to be disclosed upon sale of property. Good point. ~C And I didn't mean to insinuate that Kat was not "sappy" about her horses, only that her posts sometimes come across very pointed and unfeeling sometimes. My apologies. Email isn't the best for conveying ones tone and emotions, as we know. That's so lovely, Karen. I wish we had such an option in California. If we did though, it would be regulated to a T and state fees collected. Carrie, I don't know anyone (incluing Kat) who is not sappy about their horses, but here you choose to follow the rules or you don't. I know of famous stallions buried on their owners properties with gravestones, from before it was illegal. I also know of horses in unmarked graves. Once they're "gone", in my case, it's a beloved carcass, but the soul is gone and I appreciate having the rendering truck come, so the body can be put to some use, and no, in the case with my two horses, I did not watch. And I was boarding each of those, even illegal burial wasn't really an option. I know people who live on acreage (as I do now) can't picture southern California horsekeeping, but the town mine were in allowed at least 4 horses per half acre, IIRC. What do people do when they sell their property with a bunch of horses buried on it? In the case where there's a grave marker, do you make it a contingency of the sale that the site is maintained?

We also offer a service for horse owners, when the decision must be made to put down their equine friend due to old age or chronic illness/injury. Because Kansas law prohibits anyone but the owner from transporting a dead animal, the horse must be capable of transport here. So, the decision to use our service has to be made before an acute illness or critical injury. We then lead the animal to a lovely meadow, surrounded by evergreen trees, and a few hundred yards from a creek. Then we have the vet come and perform the euthanasia and the horse is buried where it lies. Memorial stones can be placed on the gravesite. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
