Oh no , so sorry to read your post....I hope you don't HAVE to make any decisions, keeping my fingers crossed for Luke, you will be in my thoughts today ...We have a little thunder rumbling. Unusual for us in the morning. Another work day, then I'm taking tomorrow off. I have made a hard, sad decision about my Luke horse. Meeting the vet here tomorrow morning.

I really feel for you, bless your heart my friend...the best decisions are often the hardest...may Luke run free and wild till you meet againThank you Barb
No, the decision is firm. His coffin bones have rotated in his front hooves and he is lame. He also has had a lot of trouble getting up due to arthritis in his hocks and stifles. He is fat and glossy and bright eyed, and it makes me cry, but I think better now, than to let him slide into a lot of pain and misery and it turns into an emergency call.
Chunks spread just fine, they just don't cover a large area like fine stuff
I think the tilling before spreading idea is a good one. 
and was pretty steady for a time. Then it stopped, dripping now. I'll have to check the rain gauge (AKA above ground pool) to see how much we got. Seems like it was heavy enough and long enough to soak into the ground and I won't need to water the garden for a few days. Hi today about 80 but under that the next 3 days 
it is certainly very sad about Luke, but ya knew this day was coming and the "hard decision" sure eats at ya, but it surely is the right thing to do and I stand with my arm around your shoulders as I have stood in those "shoes".....
@thistlebloom this is always so very hard, even when it is the best and done with love. I am so very sorry. I feel your pain and hurt with you. Been there myself.....
