100% correct and 100% unlikely that the horses issues did not contribute to him dying inhumanely vs. a simple injection to afford him peace

he got a simple injection to afford him peace. it just came a few months later than what you wanted.

not quite. i feel bad that he didn't make it. i know you attribute their efforts to greed....i don't. they knew it was a slim chance of saving him, and they tried anyway. it's too bad more people don't do that, especially if there's a chance.

Oh.

I mistakenly thought it was colic that killed SNA and almost got Paynter.

Sorry.

Just saw it mentioned that maybe all the pain killers and antibiotics, etc., might have led to the colic. I wonder if there could be any truth to that.

Wouldn't be surprising. Too bad they don't use kratom on horses for pain.

As far as antibiotics go.....

Some stories are not destined to have happy endings. Although each chapter in St Nicholas Abbey’s remarkable fight for life seemed to end happily, pointing to the feel-good ending everyone had hoped for, it was not to be.
