It is with a heavy heart that I inform you at 1130 am today, our sweet old gentleman General received his wings.
For those who did not know, General he had been with us for 8.5 years. He was blind due to the fact that he had been been beaten in the head with a 2 x 4. He was an OTTB and came to us at the age of 19 yrs old. He had many homes prior to MHR&S and had been claimed in a stakes race. He had two roommates during his life with us, Shiloh and Sophie, who have preceded him.
Our vet was called out and a complete exam given. General's system was slowly shutting down, so the decision was based on the fact we would not allow him to suffer.
He will always be remembered for being the horse that could hear a carrit snap a mile away.
As Debbie, one of our ABR posters put it, ..."He is now taking in all the beauty of heaven with his healed eyes. RIP General."
