Oh that sounds like a whole lot of gaslighting 

Thanks @CCW007 this is not the first instance of it, we also had it where I mentioned something and was told it never happened, despite the fact that I could remember time, date and exact location.

I think I was very silly in my grief and @redofromstart is handling things much better than me (though I know it's not a competition anyone chooses to take part in).

Today I have painted our front porch "Botany Bay" silly name for blue-green though DD2 explained why paints have silly names.

My heart is broken. DD1 found Big 'orse dead in the field at 7:30 am. She'd been fine at 7 the night before. 

Vet thinks acorn poisoning so preventable if I'd been more cautious.

@Watty1 I hope your guys are away from Oak trees.

Fortunately Ponyplops is fine (she had her bloods done).

I am so sorry to hear that Al, I have never heard of acorn poisoning 🥲

redofromstart

Oh no, I am so sorry to read that. Huge hugs for you.

Watty1

Oh Al, that is so awful. I'm so sorry. I do have an oak tree but it is very old and has never produced acorns.  Sending huge hugs x

Thank you @BookWorm @greent @edinburgher @redofromstart and @Watty1

I'm not 100% convinced she didn't have some hidden weakness but apparently there are a LOT of acorns with very high tannins because the trees are stressed.
