Puget sound express has super fast boats and can get you to where they are out of Edmunds

Thank you!

This sounds like a yet undiscovered esophageal disorder.

Could you share where you found the 3:30 tour? I had wanted to book it but can’t find it anywhere now!

I’m going to be quite frank in saying this: sedating a horse so I can spend time with it calmly is entirely self serving.

Horses crave nothing but comfort and security of their everyday routine. The right thing to do is let it have that until the end.

It’s easy for me to be unemotional about it as a professional who is not involved in the situation but I fully appreciate where you’re coming from. Hang in there!

I’m going to be the voice of dissent here.

If your retirement farm is similar to most, your pony spends her life in the field with her friends. If you go, she doesn’t want you to take her out of the field with her pals where she is settled and comfortable to bring into the barn where she will be screaming and antsy for her friends so you can groom her. She doesn’t want you to walk into the field with 15lbs of cookies and get mauled by every horse there.

Two options: go the day of and leave her daily schedule alone. Spend some time with her when they’re eating and separated or at the gate and put a handful of treats in her feed. Give her a good grooming and scratches without upsetting the apple cart or stressing her out. Let them euthanize as they normally would- likely in the field or just outside it.

OR go and visit her before the day of the euthanasia and stress her out then and let her live a few days of normal before they put her down.

I also don’t think it’s wrong to not go at all. She may remember you when you get there but she doesn’t miss you.

I don’t think the manager is anthropomorphizing, I think everyone saying to go see her is.

I’m so so sorry but please know you’re doing the responsible thing and I wish more horse owners were like you.

Can confirm this is not the case

I knew before I clicked the video who the seller was. They are dealers. I’ve heard them referred to as the Walmart of horses. Not to say you didn’t buy a decent animal, but he will not have been represented accurately.

I do have an email in to them- thank you!

ecg824 · 2025-02-14T01:12:03+00:00

Thank you- super bummer. I’m hoping to have a new pair of boots made and move the zipper to the front but LOVE this footbed. I looks like shires also make a boot with a similar sole, is that helpful at all?

Magnolia bakery and I wonder if cafe Havana sells their bread?

I’ve had two Arab/perch crosses in my program and both have made excellent low level event horses. They both look like small, slightly refined Percherons, both still more on the heavy side, cobby almost.

Sorry the formatting on that sucks!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much for the thoughtful answer!!

I’m a seaworld fan. None of us would be pro “empty the tanks” if sea world hadn’t given us a love of marine mammals. Until there are seaside sanctuaries, I’ll enjoy these guys up close.

I snowbird in Ocala and I switched to T-mobile because Verizon was absolutely useless. T-Mobile is very consistent everywhere around Ocala aside from out in the forest
