Actually, I think, FryGuy had the same black horse in his earlier block when he told us of his ailing aging black horse. I do hope his horse is better now, or maybe he found an land-grant ag college near him where they train Vets and maybe fix up his horse at a more reasonable rate...although I know Vet training is not done everywhere across the land. If I had the money in my youth, I might have tried going that route as a career...but now think I would have cried over the animals that I could not have helped..much too emotional about things, maybe that comes with true love of animals and kids or just being a woman. Nice to have a partner, dh, to balance me and to be there for me when I need him to be at my side.
