As per the title really - have you made provisions for your horse if you get ill or die suddenly?
In June 2019 I had a message from a friend's sister, sent to all her Facebook friends. It basically said A (as I will call her) has been found unconscious and is now in hospital still unconscious. Please can somebody sort out her 3 horses as we don't know what to do with them. One of the horses used to be my share horse so I knew the horses routines, and fortunately they live out. A group of us set up a rota to look after them until the owner recovered. While A regained consciousness and was released from hospital after having a brain tumour removed she was never able to look after the horses again and 2 of us have been looking after them ever since (she does pay the bills still). Fast forward to now and A is in a hospice and not able to communicate. Unless there is something in her will she has left no instructions about what is to happen with the horses so at the moment we are in limbo. Two of them can be sold but my old share horse is 22 now and doesn't mix well. If necessary I will take him on, but I would rather not have to find the extra money
Anyway - please don't leave anyone in the situation I have been left in - you never know what life will bring (Harvey is covered in my will and I have arranged that my YO would look after him short to medium term)
