It's why we have ours insured pretty hard- even just the excess on our vet bills is hard enough to keep up with, never mind the horsepital stays when Joe had colic.

I agree about the colic surgery. I don't think it's worth doing for many horses- the survival rate is not perfect and the amount of box rest required afterwards would be pretty unfair to a lot of horses. I hate thinking about this stuff, partly because maybe I'll have to make that call some day.
