My friend has a horse that now has a lifelong condition requiring constant medication amounting to in excess of a 3 figure sum every month. I suggested the problem could be solved in one fell swoop by a simple phone call to a fallen stock company.
Oh, the look.

Oooo a whole new topic and a big can of worms.
at one time I had quite a side line going digging holes for nig-nags done 8 or so in two or three years you need a big hole for a nig-nag
best if the owner is not looking when you lob it in with the four in one bucket

About 30 years ago my father dug a hole for a neighbour's horse with the old Ford 4550 we had at the time. The vet then walked the horse up to the hole, and put it down, rolling it into the excavation as it went down.at one time I had quite a side line going digging holes for nig-nags done 8 or so in two or three years you need a big hole for a nig-nag

Trouble was, the hole wasn't deep enough, and the legs were still poking above ground level. At this point my father walked away from the job, and it was left to me to lift the dead horse out, dig the hole a lot deeper, replace the horse, and cover it up. I was about 13 at the time!

Did anyone suggest filling the stable with hungry pigs for a week?

A local knackerman at home (now gone) was said to have had the same trouble when he buried one of his horses (bought for fattening) in his own field. Apparently a chainsaw fetches the protruding legs off just fine.
Saw this a while back, and thought of this thread......

I wondered what thestory was behind that picture, so did a "Search Google for this image" -
The answer came up:
Best guess for this image: hay feeders for horses

What's the first opening line when a vet comes across a big problem with a horse or dog?
Have you got insurance!

We have got rid of all scrap tractor tyres for horse field feeders!
