Years ago at the barn where I was working, there was a black Arab stallion in the barn that was used as the teaser. He was so good natured, but he never got to enjoy the entire thing. He was a big favorite in the barn. One day, a client had a mare she wanted to cross with this horse, primarily because he was black and everyone was excited that the horse was going to actually do the deal.
I was holding the mare throughout and after he finished, I looked up at his face and there was a totally glazed look in his eyes. The lights were on, but no one was home type of thing. I told the vet, who was handling the stallion that the horse wasn't with us and sure enough, the horse started sliding off to the right side of the mare. He had passed out. He hit the ground, which was soft because it was all sand and wasn't out long. He came to almost immediately, but that horse's back legs were wobbling so badly as he went back to the barn. Zapped him out, big time, but he was fine.
Thanks for the pictures of Happy Ticket. She was always my favorite.
