My mom just called home a few hours ago and she is at the barn right now with the barn owner. And her old guy(BO's), Freddie is dying from old age. She has owned him for so long and she actually saved him from the sluaghter truck. Prayers for Freddie and barn owner please.
Update in a little bit because my mom just got home.

Here's what happened in a nutshell...
freddie had been colicing (supposidly) earlier today. Was laying down in the field, kind of thrashing, they walked him. While he was down in his stall he hurt his eyes thrashing, and they were hoohoo and swollen. so they called the vet to come at 7:30. They arrived at 9:00! So he kept on trying to lay down, and they knew it was his time so my mom called the BO (wasn't there) and so they took him to his favourite grazing spot, and put him down. It took them about 3 vials to put him down. So it was kind of hard for everyone there. and i really hope that the BO does not use these vets ever again, because they have done things in the past that my mom and i certainly don't agree with, and never come at the time they are supposed to whenever there's an emergency. So please pray for the BO and Freddie.

 I am so very sorry for your Mom's lost. It is hard to lose a pet even from old age - we wish they would live for us forever. Prayers for your mom. Freddie is running pain free now with Barbaro and all the little foals that were lost this year and mares. She will have wonderful memories of her friend.
