Rotstar

Rotstar, 1994-August 6, 2021
Life has passed, death has separated them after many long years, but unfortunately this often happens too quickly, and everything becomes complicated for the remaining loved one if no documents had been prepared, especially if there was no official link between them.

In 2017, Mrs C. contacted us in distress, finding herself with their two elderly horses at full financial expense, i.e. CHF 900 per month in boarding costs for both horses.

Her partner had been responsible for boarding them before his sudden death. Mrs C, who only receives DI benefits, has used her meagre reserves to find a solution, but the situation is becoming worrying.

Tragic situation torn between the loss of his companion, a very fragile financial situation, and despair over the future of the two horses….we then set our network in motion, and quickly found a nice place to welcome Sangria and Rotstar into retirement.

Sangria enjoyed her new life for just one year, falling asleep at the age of 22.

Rotstar is back in top form, back in the swing of things, and he’ll even be the great sage of the herd.

But over the past 1 week, her health has taken a turn for the worse: a crack in her hind leg has degenerated, the gloma has detached and Rotstar is compensating with her other hind leg. X-rays show an abscess, even when pierced, with no improvement, a nosebleed has been added to the various pathologies, and her immune system is breaking down… Rotstar is finding it hard to move despite the anti-bio and anti-inflammatory treatments she is taking, and the vet has asked us to take the decision to let her go.

Rotstar will leave in his 27th year, surrounded by his herd and guardians.

To you Rotstar, off for the last gallop to your Sangria…Bonne route grand!

Our thoughts are with his family, who share this lovely testimonial with us:

Rotstar has left to join Sangria. They were our first commies, and Rotstar our darling, the boss of the stables and the fields. We’ll miss his vocals. He was the one who kept everyone in order. I remember you telling me, you never know if they’re going to live long or not. He was with us for almost 4 years! We’ll miss him terribly. Thank you for entrusting him to us and allowing us to get to know this loving horse.
