RS Ironclad Alibi (Moose)
(📷 of Moose from Ironwood)
Ironwood shared yesterday, Moose had a catastrophic pasture accident resulting in a broken front leg. He was able to be splinted very quickly by a vet, and go in for scans but it was determined that the break was severe enough that it would be extremely unlikely that he would even be pasture sound (5% chance).
With those odds, they let him go.
Horses are fast, and heavy and powerful-- which can be devastating in just the wrong moment with physics get involved.
This should be a solemn reminder that *even with the best of everything*, shit can happen that *no one* expects and it is no one's fault.
The mod team wishes good thoughts and warm feelings for everyone at RS and Ironwood who loved Moose and knew him.
