Aging Corolla wild horse euthanized peacefully last week
The Corolla Wild Horse Fund announced Sunday that one of the stallions in the herd had to be euthanized.
Posted — UpdatedA Facebook post by the fund said the stallion was in his mid-20s and staff had been keeping an eye on him for months because it had become clear to staff and vets that he was nearing the end of his life.
Last week, the fund said the horse had reached the point where he could no longer go on.
"We are incredibly grateful that he went down somewhere we could spot him, and that we could help him pass quickly and with dignity," said the fund in their Facebook post.
The post goes on to say that he is buried in a quiet place where he lived his entire life.
"There was nothing tragic or untoward about this case. This stallion lived a wonderful, long life in the wild and died as peacefully as death can ever be," said the fund.
