In Memory of.....

Sweet Violet

We had to say good-bye to our Sweet Violet Monday morning as she decided it was her time to move on to lush forever pastures. Violet had been with us for 10 years, and was the sweetest mare that ever there was! She was just shy of her 36th birthday, and would have had many more had her body given her the chance. She was kind and gentle and loving.....she will be so missed by us all.

Abbey

Abbey was the most stoic mare I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her story was long and riddled with hardship; she never was beaten down. Once here, she found her place of quiet, though she was by then filled with arthritis and pain. She would have gone until the sun did not rise, but the pain in her eyes was too great, her lameness too obvious. She fought EVER fight, her mind was not ready, her legs would not listen.... My Grand Abababinili, may the wind carry you now where your legs could not....

Maddy-Lynne

Maddy, oh Maddy, my beautiful Belgian girl. You fought your battle with IR and Cushings bravely and with great courage. You wore your Soft-Ride boots with style; I am so glad they provided comfort and allowed you many extra years with us! The sadness of losing those we care for and the knowing you can only take away a small bit of pain is difficult. It must be true - they are the ones that truly help us, they help us find our souls.....
