More bad news

Living as Trinity: The Horses

Harry My sister's horse went to Langford today. The vet's teaching school. Centre of excellence. He was going for an Xray of his lungs as he'd continued to bleed from his lungs and mouth. But this last week he'd stabilized a bit more and seemed a little better. As expected they had to take Shaun (the other older horse) as well, he won't do anything without Shaun and they didn't want to stress him. The Vet arranged for a friend used to transporting sick horses to take him but my sister and bro-in law followed behind in the car. Only three miles into the journey the horse trailer stopped. The driver said he felt something was wrong. When they looked Harry was down and bleeding. They rang the vet and he said close the door and get him to Langford ASAP. So they did. But when they arrived it was too late he'd died.
Poor Shaun was a bit shocked at it all. My sister was so upset. Horses are so beautiful and have such huge personalities.
They're going to do a post mortem to see what was wrong but I think it was possibly a tumour.
