Yeah we tried a wench .. He fought too hard for us to be able to get him up safely.. We're looking for someone with a sling system and backhoe to be able to get him up fast.. I have 2 bales and a couple winter blankets behind him so he can't lie flat on his side.. I keep moving his hay coward so that he has to stay upright to reach it.. I was (still am) stressing over the amount of time down, but I was told up to 48 hours and asked my vet n he confirmed.. Said its not ideal but will stay in the safe range for that long..

I just wanted to let everyone know that the vet made it out, took blood and the gelding passed shortly after. I sent both horses to the state vet for autopsies and my vet said nothing unusual in the bloodwork..a hard loss right before Christmas

I'm new so just saw this. I am terribly sorry for your loss. I know you said they were autopsied, you do you think something "un noticed in the autopsie" has happened to them? Maybe a pinched nerve that was just too bad? Or? Was this mystery ever solved?
