Monster pulled it out the bag one last time.

And that's all folks.

Seems kind of fitting to end this blog with Monsters passing since this is all about him.

Thank you all for coming on our journey with us, beginning to end. I hope we have provided a bit of entertainment, especially with his cheeky antics.

If anyone wants to keep in touch drop me a message. If not, I hope that you wonderful people have a bloody amazing life.

This is the longest and fastest weekend of my life so far.

Happy boy has had so many cuddles today. He is well loved by everyone on the yard.

[cobshenanigans]

All the lush green grass. All the apples, all the pears. Anything this little man wants he gets. Cheeky shit nabbed half a tube of polos right from my pocket.

[cobshenanigans]

Love you too big man.

My beautiful boy is in catastrophic heart failure from a spontaneous cardiac event. There was nothing that I could have done to prevent it and there is nothing we can do about it.

Barring any emergencies he will spend the long weekend in the herd field with his friends eating his fill and being pampered and loved and on tuesday we will say our goodbyes.

This is the hardest part of horse ownership and it's the second time I've had to do this. My heart is breaking but he owes me nothing and I will be letting him go before it gets bad enough for him to suffer.

Please please people, if your horse suddenly gets out of breath when it's not normal and has this pulse in the video below, stop riding them while you get the vet out.

Please be kind, this is hard enough.

Cardiologist coming tomorrow so we will finally find out what's happening and make a plan from there.

Spoke to the old vet who saw him a couple of weeks ago who said no abnormalities in his heart when she listened. Which means in under a week he has gone from perfectly healthy to grade 4 heart murmur?

I smell bullshit.

[cobshenanigans]

The vet that came out today said he has a grade 4/6 heart murmur which has literally appeared in the last 2 weeks and they need to ultrasound his heart.

All his bloods came back normal so no infections and there has been no catastrophic injury in the field or when riding.

Unless they find something very strange that they can fix, essentially monster will need to be retired for risk of catastrophic heart failure.

The cardiologist has been called to ultrasound and confirm but the vet was pretty sure.

Devastated isnt a strong enough word. My heart is broken.

[cobshenanigans]

Monster is sick and I'm worried.

Vet has come out, bloods taken and he is now off work until we figure out what is making his heart rate so high and fucking with his breathing.

The possibilities are terrifying and I'm freaking out :(

Poor guy just cant catch a break.

Hack in the woods for the monster with small cousin. Waiting for the useless vets to call about his check up xrays.
