It's is always a heartache to see great old horses get to the point when a responsible owner has to make the tough choice between a hard life or an easy death. Majorita Peppy (Glory) was a good reiner and a great producer. She has injured her hip and is having difficulty getting up. Her pasture is wooded and we found her wedged in the spruce. Luckily we were able to get a truck close enough to pull her free. She was able to get up with help and walk to a small clear pasture in sight of the ranch house. I've got her on a double dose of Bute. She drinks, eats and lies down needing help to get up every time. I'll give her a week....pictured below is my great old ranch hand Mr.Arnie Hein showing Glory as a four year old in the outdoor pen at the Westerner in Red Deer
