Just recently read a post by someone who mentioned
that their horse passed on. My sympathies to the
individual whom lost a loved one.
I apologize in advance if this may sound like an odd
question, but "how" did you arrange the "burial" for
the horse?
The reason why I ask is because on top of being
happily owned by twelve (12) adorable kitties, I am
also loved by two (2) horses.
(I have a barn/stable built on my 6.5 acres of
backyard county land.)
Anyway, "Big Red" my Saddle-Breed, Quarter horse (an
old chestnut mare) is approaching her 23rd birthday in
2005 and "Ibn Rafftee" my Arabian gelding was foaled
on 1-17-74. He just turned 31 yesterday. :)
Since most horses only live to be 30-35 years old I am
most concerned with his near future burial
arrangements. Although, Rafftee is currently health,
he is naturally old. His poor body is starting to show
its age, bless his heart.
I have never buried a horse before and do not know the
details involved. I absolutely REFUSE to send/sell his
body to a "glue-factory." If anyone has ever buried a
horse before, could they please share "how" they
managed to do it?
I understand that a back-hole will be involved with
digging the grave, but unfortunately, I do not know
more than that. Once his poor body collapses how will
I move Rafftee's half ton body into the grave?
I am SO worry about that specific detail, because I
hate to think that I will have to literally "drag" him
into it. :( I do not what to disrespect him, by
damaging his poor body in the process. Although I
understand at that point, he has already left his old
and worn out body, I neither what to break any bones
nor tare any tissue while placing him in his grave.
How does anyone lovingly move a half ton baby?
This is Rafftee's home. It is only right that he be
buried here. Thanks.
