Sandy,
A medical professional be it human or animal has to make judgement calls in emergent situations. They cannot nor should not refuse medical treatment and care.
Yes, you should have been notified first and been allowed to be there since you are the horses owner. However, it does not sound like the outcome would have been any different. I'm sorry for your loss, but I think you need to be thankful that your horse did not have to suffer any longer. This was based on the vet's expert opinion.
It will be very sad to find out if your horse suffered all day due to the fact that they do not have someone on staff while they are at work. I would NEVER board someplace where my horses weren't beening watched. They can get into way too much trouble.
Again, I'm very sorry for your loss! This is a horrible way to have to lose an animal.
