Are There Other Options?
Ben was terrified that his horse would turn against him and attack him. He wondered, “Was this a good idea?” Was there a chance that she would try to get with Ben? Ben and his horse were unable to get out of that situation without hurting themselves. Were there any other options?
Ben’s vet informed him that this was the only way to protect the health of his horse and the foal she was carrying. As soon as Ben learned this, he approached Felicia calmly so as not to irritate her. When he was close to Felicia, he positioned himself so she wouldn’t feel any agony from the process.
