It's probably a futile request, but....

can anyone say a few prayers on behalf of our Twister?(the rescue horse)

At 4:15 pm today all were well. At the 6:30 feeding time she was 'missing'. We found her in a little gully, laying in a trickle of water, and moaning. I JUST got back. We've been trying to get her up on her feet, she tries, but no go so far. She's eaten the grain we put in front of her.

I've been praying and begging, but it's done no good. It's MY fault she's in this hurt. I NEVER should have saved her from the meat wagon. I just prolonged her death.

Can you get a vet out? Do you have Banamine on hand? Are all of her limbs okay? Check her gums and see if they are pink or white. Oh my, praying as hard as I can.

It's certainly not your fault, don't be silly. Do you know what's wrong? I'll be praying hard.

Good grief, what's going on? Has she been sick? I'm afraid to ask but, how is she this morning?

This is in NO WAY your fault. Dying in a ditch would be my preference over being knocked in the head. You did the right thing by rescuing her, no matter what the outcome.

Oh that is so sad. She was in such poor condition when you got her. Wasn't she gaining weight? Do you think she was wormy? Prayers for her recovery.

Don't feel that way. She had no chance before you rescued her. You gave her a home and love. I see this was yesterday though. Praying for you anyway.

I pray that she makes it, but you should never feel guilty about giving her a good home, and maybe the only love she'd ever known, even if it turns out to be only for a short time. It's better whan what she had and you're better for having done it. :o)

Oh my God, mommadoo, I just saw your post. (Evidently "all" doesnt actually send this post out to all of us.) I am so sad for you and so upset you are blaming yourself. This is so wrong. I'm convinced Twister went off to start her journey on the Rainbow bridge. You didnt prolong her agony, you gave her great love in the last, natural stages of her life. The only pain now is yours. I hope our prayers and offers of support can help ease your journey through the mourning process. By blaming yourself you are doing yourself a terrible injustice. You were not in control here. Twister's time had come, you are to be admired for all that you did. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to ease your pain.
