GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Our hearts are fuller for knowing you

BIG BERT          15 YR.

Bert was the horse that started it all for our founder, Kelly Stackpole.  Bert came from the auction at New Holland.  He will be forever remembered for his caring and loving nature.  Kelly had Bert for four years before a sudden and very violent bout of colic.  Bert was humanly euthanized.

EPONA               12 YEARS

So very sad to only have this girl not 24 hours at the rescue.  Her vet exam showed she did not have an abscess in her foot, but her coffin bone was coming through her sole. This was something that happened a while ago and was not addressed. This was something we could not fix.  We gave her love and dignity before a humane euthanasia.  We did the right thing for her.

WILLOW        22 YEARS

One of our favorite and longest horses with us this "Princess" passed away too soon. Willow was a TB mare and definitely brought sparkle to the farm.
