Good thread Truck Shop.
Ten years ago a friend of mine called with a horse problem. ( ya I know all about horse people, he is not in that category) His 12 year old daughter races barrels and her horse stepped in a gopher hole. Breaking about 2 ft of its leg clean off. All that was holing it on was about 1" of hide, not pretty.
So they had the vet on the way to put it down but needed to have a horse funeral. So I loaded up my 25 ton excavator and drove over the 30 miles to his house. When I get there he says you can't just squeeze it with the thumb and throw it in the hole, we need to be gentle. His wife and 2 daughters are watching everything. Very sad day for them.
I dig a nice perfect rectangle grave get the horse laid in there perfectly on its side. Next was blanket and flowers. Covered him up and left.
Only Took about two years before he finally quit asking if I was going to send a bill for the horse funeral. I never did send one.
