Okie has been set free
Fr:Spirit
Had the vet out on May 1 to give everyone their shots and checkups, and we determined that it was time to let Okie go. He had gotten himself cast in his stall earlier this year, and started to go off his feed and loose weight, he was having a hard time moving around and getting up and down. The pain medicine wasn't working and he was in a lot of pain. We waited for almost 4 months to see if he would snap out of it and nothing we did changed his condition. So Okie has been set free.
I had everyone in the barn that morning, and he was just walking the isle visiting. It seemed like they all knew he was leaving and they were being nice to him. My mares are real nasty to geldings and didn't really like him. He just hung out with the pony and the mustang. But that morning everyone was on their best behavior, no ugly faces or nothing.
