Aumance

Aumance goes to sleep at 31

A former owner’s show horse, Aumance joined the Refuge following financial problems. Retired for more than 10 years, Aumance enjoyed his life in good conditions. Discreet, friendly with everyone, human and horse alike, Aumance led his own little life, eating his paddles with appetite. But over the past few days, he had been showing signs of weakness in his hindquarters, moving crablike. When it came time to feed him in the evening, Aumance was lying down and couldn’t get up, his hindquarters no longer responding… Aumance was already very tired. The vet arrives on the scene, assesses the situation, and it’s surrounded that he falls asleep in his bed of straw, in a very calm.
31 ans….Already a great age for this great horse! A good number of our old retirees are now over 30, and we know that we’re going to have to face the departure of some of them….but when everything goes according to plan, it’s also a relief to have been able to offer them a nice retirement and a good start…

Aumance, a fine road to you, you’re joining Darwyn’s other world….
