We had a sad day yesterday with the loss of our 9 year old AQHA mare, Mobzilla (HF Mobster x CR Guns Fancy). We’ve had her since 3 months of age, when we brought her home from Hilldale Farm, right after she was weaned. Yesterday, she lost her battle with cancer that started last fall after she was bred and in foal with her 2025 c**t. She foaled a gorgeous grulla c**t a few weeks ago, but we also lost him, too. Mobzilla’s cancer had rapid progression which caused weight loss 3-4 weeks before foaling. Our vet and vet techs did their best to save her c**t and we were all so hopeful that he was going to make it. But he died in our arms that afternoon after letting him rest and getting him up again to eat before we left vet clinic to take him home. Mobzilla loved her c**t and at least she was there with him to understand what happened to him. Her yearling filly greeted her when we got her back home, which helped her a bit. We knew Mobzilla’s time was very limited, but there was nothing else we could do but keep her as comfortable as possible until she passed. She lived her last few weeks in a quiet, peaceful, grassy paddock in front of our house with big shady oak trees and 3 of her oldest mare buddies, who are also nearing the end of their lives & needing special care. Her yearling filly and the rest of her broodmare friends were across the fence so she could touch noses with them and visit, but they wouldn’t be competing for her high calorie mash feedings. We were trying to decide if we should euthanize her or let her peacefully die at home and she made that choice for us. We will miss this beautiful mare.
RIP Mobzilla (4/1/2016- 9/27/2025)
