Horse owners face many difficult decisions at the end of their horses’ life, aside from the very hard decision of if, when and how your horse should be euthanatized.

As a result of new EU rules which have been introduced in the UK, there are now fewer routes of disposing of equines carcasses which raises additional concerns for horse owners.
