How do you deal with a death of a horse?

Answer 1

The death of any pet is especially difficult for the owners and other animals involved. Whether you knew the horse was dying for sometime beforehand or the death was very sudden, it is a painful experience. You will need time to grieve. Do not let anybody tell you that it was only a horse and you should get over it. The horse meant a lot to you and you don't need to pretend that it didn't. You might be feeling guilty about the horse's death, especially if you made the decision to have it put down. Take comfort from the knowledge that you ended the suffering of an old friend; you did the best thing for your horse. Every person copes with the death of a pet differently. Some people like to write songs, stories or poetry about the pet that has died, or hold a funeral service and say a eulogy. Some people (I know I'm one of them) can think about nothing except the pet for weeks. Many people vow not to get another pet; others go and buy a new one very soon afterwards. It's okay to cry non-stop or be very upset about the death of your horse but there comes a time when you have to move on. If you are having a lot of trouble coping or feel that you are becoming depressed, it's a good idea to consider counselling. It can be very helpful.

Answer 2

When a horse dies the owner (if domesticated) can have the horse buried where it will decompose naturally. they can have it cremated for a fee and spread or bury the ashes, they can have the horse hauled away to a dump, or to a rendering plant where it will be cooked down. Or they can donate the body to an equine hospital for research.

Answer 3

You can bury it, if your town allows it. A lot of places don't because it can pollute the groundwater.

Otherwise, you call a rendering service. They come pick up the body and use it up/dispose of it.

== == If you believe in God then believe you will see your pet. I'm a believer that our pets have souls and hold so much love in their hearts for their owner and are often more loyal a companion than many people are to us. Yes, your pet will be there! Here is a poem I think you may like. Grieving for a pet is like grieving for anything you love more than yourself. RainbowsBridge.com Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown... == == == ==
