Trbomax, I am relly sorry to hear this. I had no idea it could become so bad and turn so quickly. Very sorry.

 A plugged gut on any equine is usually a death sentance. Thier gut is 30 - 40 feet long and gets pretty bad before they start to show it.A couple years ago we had a new 6 yr old thourogh bred that we got down in indiana.We didnt know it at the time but he had 40 + # of sand in his gut. Afew weeks later he was rolling and his gut flipped (from the wieght) so midnight on a saturday we loaded him and took him down to MSU vet hospital,150 miles away.On the way down bounceing around in the trailer,his gut flipped back.They did an MRI and then found the sand. It took us over a year to get him to pass it with a lot of sand clear. He survived just fine,but thats rare.

I'm sorry to hear that there was a bad outcome. As a kid working on a farm I seem to remember having to have the cows ingest some sort of a magnet that was supposed to trap any iron based material that they might swallow so that it didn't migrate through their digestive system.

I'm still here and checking in from time to time. I don't have much going on in the shop lately. I got all of the other builds that I was working on for other people out the door and had a bad experience with the plymouth build, it left a bad taste in my mouth. So I don't think I well take on any more projects in the near future. I did take the mower blades off and put the snow blade on my lawn tractor. It sure makes pushing the snow off my corner lot a lot nicer.

One of the reasons I quit doing work for other people 20 yrs ago.Sometimes no mater what you try to do for or with people you still end up the a$$hole.Waasnt worth it.I hope you can come to terms with it and not just quit building.

That looks like a lot of fun.
