I just found out that she got home and found her paint horse had been thrashing around in his stall and eventually was cast. She got him up, gave banamine, and immediately took him to Waller Equine through Houston's 5:00 traffic. T n T spoke with her moments ago and she was on way home. Her pony is still at the vet receiving fluids and they said if he was to pull through it would be in a couple of hours. If not, then a decision would have to be made that she might have to put him down. I know she was already sick and now has this to add to it. Just know that we are thinking about you and your pony............ (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS))))))))

That stinks! That is something you never want to deal with when you're healthy, much less when you have pneumonia! Hope everything goes ok for her horse. (((((((HUGS))))))))

Please keep us updated Kayla, prayers are sent your way!

Thanks guys! This has been one tough day.. Went to work (shouldnt have) and got home to find "Jackson" down cast in his stall. The stall is totally trashed! Looks like this has been going on most of the day.. 5:00 traffic is a booger on a good day.. but got him to Waller and the vet really thinks he has dead gut.. As heart broken as I am surgery just is not an option.. His blood work, and belly tap were not good..but she said he does still have some gut sounds, not much reflux and still has some white blood cells sooooo maybe...... she didn't want to just put him down with out at least trying ... nor did I... I told her IF he takes a turn for the worst it was ok to put him down.. I have been at this many, many years and this guy is in really bad shape..
This is the sire of LuLu that I lost in the trailer last fall... I guess some things just may not be in the cards
I really expect a phone call much later tonight or early in the morning and I am ok with that... the man he is named after & who gave him to me is in Heaven watching over him. I lost a good friend in Jack Tarpley a few years ago to cancer... so I said a prayer before I left for Jack to take care of him for me...
-
Don't be too negetive!! Prayers can change everything!! I pray that good change take place!
-
I know the power of prayer can move mountians!!! And if God isn't ready for Jackson I will gladly take back over his care...
-
prayers for you and your baby!! (((((((HUGS))))))))

Kayla, so sorry to hear about your colt...many many prayers coming your way from Pasadena...I did not get on last night so up at 2:00 am and reading posts...I just hate when me, mom, sons, and husband or one of us can not be home at one time or the other...I just hate to leave the barn un-attended, in case something like this happening...its scary...but think positive..and with all our prayers coming your way, things will turn around for you and Jackson.... <(..)> <(..)> <(..)>

JJ-so very sorry to hear of this (((((((HUGS)))))))) do you have any updates this AM? Hope your feeling better yourself..you worked so hard this past weekend.
-
Gee Kayla, so sorry to hear this, I sure hope he pulls through. I am sure this crazy winter we have had (or haven't had) has got o be hard on the horses. Mine don't know whether to shed or grow another winter coat.
-
(((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS)))))))) prayers for you and Jackson

Well the vet called this morning about 5:30 with the news I had been dreading all night.. Jackson was just getting worse. The pain meds, fluids nothing was working so she knew he had dead gut in his intestines.. Surgery wasn't an option and definitely as far gone as he was now it would have been money wasted she thought... so I made the call to go ahead and send him to the Rainbow Bridge were I know Jack was waiting for him.. ( Jack and I had a running battle about how ugly Jackson was thats why he gave him to me)

Sending Prayers and Hugs your way. So sorry for your loss. (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS))))))))

The loss of a loved one is always a tragic time. Unlike these thoroughbred folks where the animal is a money machine rather than a member of the family, we feel the loss so much more. Those of us who know the rider and their ride feel as if we have suffered a loss also.
You have a special Captain Jack hugg.

OMG!!! as if you hadnt had enough stuff to worry about....glad you were able to make the right descision
You did the best thing for him
Prayers for you...your a tough lady!!!
-
Thanks for all your kind words and prayers.. Waller just called and somehow now I have to find $840 to pay for him >THUD< And of course I don't have anything here I can sell. >THUD<.
-
something will work out for you
if nothing else....just do $10 a month!!!
-
I think it would be a great gesture if we all chipped in a little bit to ease the unexpected burden, since Kayla so graciously and unselfishly spearheaded a fundraiser recently herself............
-
why not a jackpot or a playday??
-
Where could it be held... someplace where there's no overhead, and workers will volunteer...
-
I wish they would let you pay a bill out.. but nope! I told the lady at the front desk I would put on my fish-nets and high heels and have the money for her by monday.. I have a couple of people who owe me money I have just been too busy with the Humphrey Benefit to go collect.. well I have already called one man who said come get the money and left the other a message.. I know it will all work out.. this just puts me in a bind after my Finish Line order disapeared at Conroe and being sick and unable to go to work a couple of days this week...
-
I dont know about all of the arenas over there....but I can help you if we can get the schedules right....im sure there will be a few people on this forum that would help too!!
What happened about the finish line??
-
I'm new to this barrel racing thing, so I am hoping someone with more experience will step up and get this going, I wouldn't know where to start. I do know there is an NBHA on March 22 in Willis, but I don't know their feelings on stuff like this, kwim?
-
i would talk tothe arena ppl first to book an arena or see if they would give it at a cut rate,see if you can find some "sponsors" to donate something...I just dont know anyone around there...i am 2 hours away from that!!! I will help you the day of the show
just like team roping, except trade the cattle for barrels!!!
-
Kayla, so sorry for the loss of Jackson...its a sad time when we have to make the kind of decision you had to make...it hurts the heart so much...and if they come up with some kind of benefit for you and Jackson... count me in!!!!
-
I'm so sorry JJ. That is just heartbreaking news. Jackson was so beautiful, at least he was loved during his time here on earth by you. (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS))))))))

I am so sorry for your loss Kayla. I'm glad he had someone waiting on the other side for him. He was gorgeous! My thoughts and prayers are with you. (((((((HUGS))))))))

Oh I am just in tears! upset because of the pneumonia and feel like poop, upset I called the widow of Mr Jack who gave me Jackson and we cried about Jack & Jackson.. Worried because I know Waller will be dogging me for the money immediately :! and missing work today. Balanced my check book >SHOCKED< (and that didn't take long) Was fixing to go dig out my fish-net stockings and stiletto heels and find a street corner to work (woohoo) But I know I have some of the best friends in the world! <NOT WORTHY> Between those that I have known for years and those I have met through ebarrelracing and the Humphrey Benefit! Anything over the $840 will be donated back to Gulf Coast Barrel Racing Association for year end awards! I will try to feel better and come out to Jack Brooks on Saturday.. Hope to see everyone there!! And I made a promise to Jackson I would not replace him I would get the cobwebs off Bubba and get him back in shape and go back to hauling him........ (so all my friends need to stay on me about legging him back up)

<DUMMY ME> Hey Shelley how many pans of "Kayla's Brownies" would I have to make to cover the vet bill?
-
Hmm - I wouldn't do ya'll the injustice of cooking, but I'm going shopping at the Houston Expo tomorrow. I should be able to find something fun for Kayla's auction. That and I'll see if I can coax BB into the kitchen too! It's raining so no Millionares but her cakes are worth fighting over!

Dude, if you just made 1 you could start a bidding war over them and pay for the whole darn thing!!! Actually, make 2. You and I will hide in the trailer and eat the second one.

I know Sandy and I was just asking you what happened to Cowboy while we were at Conroe! And to add insult to injury...... I put Jackson down yesterday morning @5 and by 8:30 the clinic was calling to "let me know how much I needed to pay them" and I get home from work today (my mail runs early before noon) THERE IS ALREADY A BILL HERE!!! so after crying all over again..... I wondered did they hand deliever that piece of paper? DANG IT!
-
man, they are real compassionate aren't they? When I had to put my little dog down a couple of months ago, my vet sent me a sympathy card. I thought that was sweet.
-
So sad. JJ prayers for you. There are no words, just prayer. :\(((
