Euthanasia

support when a horse is affected by an issue such as arthritis or lameness that is resulting in quality of life concerns. Further support is available from equine charities such as Redwings who also deal with end of life decisions for horses in their own care meaning they can share personal as well as professional experience.
When euthanasia is planned arrange time and space for yourself within the process too. Grief can be complex and affect people in different ways but never be afraid to acknowledge if you need support. In addition to our own friends and family specialist support is also available through schemes such as Friends at the End and the Pet Bereavement Support Service.
Euthanasia is one of the hardest aspects of owning an animal but giving our horses the best possible care while they are with us then knowing when and how to say goodbye ensures every individual can enjoy a good life for the whole of their life.
