Thank you so much to everyone. The vet came out, and she said that definitely he needed to be put down. She was very very sweet about it and made us feel very comfortable about it. She said that she didn't think he was shot, although only an autopsy would confirm that. She thinks that he had a seizure overnight and had injured himself and bit his tongue. I was very upset when he first was gone, but now I feel some relief knowing that he is not going to be out there freezing to death and suffering. The place that is coming to pick him up cannot be here until tomorrow, and since he couldn't get up, he is still with the other 2 horses. The vet said she was so happy that we had a tarp to cover him because some people dont cover them and it really upsets the other horses. So far Tucker seems the most affected. He keeps going over to Brandy and nudging him. It's so sad.
I don't know that I will ever find another horse like Brandy. He was definitely one in a million. Then again, I don't know if I would want to. It hurts too much to see them die.
