Turned away a job today over horse welfare concerns

A long-time customer brought their gelding in for new shoes. I noticed the horse was stepping gingerly on its right hind. The owner said it was fine and just needed the shoes done quickly. I told them I couldn't work on a horse that might be injured. They left angry, and I'm worried about the horse now.

Called a vet friend to check on a horse once.

My neighbor Dave called me last year about his goat acting strange. I had to tell him I just write code, I don't know anything about livestock. He was definitely hoping for a free consult.
