Sorry to hear that the engine doesn't want to turn over...I know that feeling all too well. I wish I had some great suggestions but...try again tomorrow? Or, dig out a coloring book for a while?
I haven't been following the Barbara story all that much because I'm so dismayed. I've been a rider since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and the lengths that they're going through to perserve this horse's life is just...horrible. Not that a majestic animal like Barbara doesn't deserve a chance to live, but the pain he'll have to go through and for what? To hobble around? And, there's a really good chance he'll tie up and colic and die an even more painful death...(yeah, I'm a bit gloomy today)...
If it had been any other horse, he'd have been put down, but stud fees being what they are...it's all about money.
