Euthanasia. We talk about it every year. We have to. Death is a part of life.

Humane euthanasia is expensive. Add burial or removal costs to that and it becomes an amount some just can’t afford. With the financial stress, or being unable to face the decision emotionally (we get that), the owner may choose trying to rehome a horse with disabilities. Or trying to place it in rescues that are likely full.

If successful at either, the often elderly horse faces the enormous stress of being uprooted. Of leaving behind the security of their herd and humans for their last days. Death would be experienced in a strange environment, with a slaughterhouse always a possibility for the infirmed horse.

If NOT successful, there’s another fate that may await the horse. And that is, the owner deciding to “let nature take its course”. They’re hopeful the horse will die peacefully in its sleep. But death rarely honors that wish. It’s more likely to involve prolonged suffering. Prolonged trauma for both horse and human.

We feel the moment of death may be the most important moment of a horse’s life. As owners, we have a responsibility to ensure that moment is as humane as possible.

If financial concerns are keeping humane euthanasia out of reach, we encourage owners to consider resources that may be able to help. If there’s a need, Becky’s Gift may be able to assist. NHSPCA may be another option for help with euthanasia at home. The vet may know of others. If anyone here is aware of resources, PLEASE SHARE!

We need to support each other (and our horses) by having this conversation. And yes, it’s a hard one.

The ups and downs can tear you apart. This boy began with a fever that seemed linked to an abscess. When treatment failed to reduce his temp of 105, his vet sent him to hospital. Intensive interventions resulted in his being brighter some days (bringing hope to all). Then back to spiking another fever.

Testing showed nothing. Response to treatment dwindled. And our client finally made the difficult decision to bring her boy of 16 years home. Home to spend his final day with his stablemate. With endless carrots. Surrounded by all who loved him for his last moments. Yes, we cried.

“Because of Becky’s Gift, I was able to take my Boy home one last time to see his best friend. When they saw each other and instantly went into the same stall and was sooo happy I knew this was the right thing to do. He was able to be let go at his home with his people and best friends. Best I could have asked for.”

Her mom had plans to open a tack shop. Then health issues brought that dream to a halt. Now, her garage holds boxes of new inventory. Boxes that her daughter is gradually donating to Becky's Gift. We've just received these, and can't wait to share them with you. Her mom's dreams will not be for naught...
