3 years? 3 months? 3 days? How about 3 hours? Yeah. It's been a harsh 3 for me and it's a Monday too! Hold on tight!

When is the “right” time to euthanize your horse? While this is not a subject horse people like to think about, it's something we all inevitably have to deal with at some point. Below is some food for thought courtesy of the horse doctors at Back Cove Equine Veterinary Care:

“At times it is obvious, such as an acute onset of severe colic or injury. Other times it is more subtle: having more trouble getting up and down to roll, not taking pleasure in the things they used to, having more bad days than good, etc. When the time comes, equine veterinarians are often called upon to help navigate this greatest of decisions and help counsel owners.”

Pictured is Prince, a senior horse who recently made his way to the next world after his owner gave great thought to the winter ahead and made the very difficult and loving decision to let him go with his dignity. Prince passed on a beautiful, crisp morning, surrounded by people who loved him.

“You earned your place in the stars, my most handsome Prince of Maine".

Rest in peace, Prince.
