In Memory of...
Don’t cry for the horses that life has set free.
A million white horses forever to be.
Don’t cry for the horses now in God’s hand.
As they dance and they prance in a heavenly band.
They
were ours as a gift, but never to keep.
As they close their eyes forever to sleep.
Their spirits unbound. On silver wings they fly.
A million white horses against the blue sky.
Look
up into heaven, you’ll see them above.
The horses we lost, the horses we loved.
Manes and tails flowing they gallop through time.
They were never yours - they were never mine.
Don’t cry for the horses. They’ll be back someday.
When our time is gone, they will show us the way.
Do
you hear that soft nicker? Close to your ear?
Don’t cry for the horses. Love the ones that are here.

Hevvin's Oreo (Spots): It is with a heavy heart I must post that we lost Spots to a severe colic Sunday evening 6/17/07. He just couldn't hang on or make it through a surgery, and we made the call to put him down to end his suffering. He is the first one we have ever lost and are hearts are heavy with grief. He was a wonderful & sweet little boy and will be greatly missed. He has made his journey over the Rainbow Bridge and will always be remembered by all that loved & cared for him through his short but happy life. Rest in peace in those beyond green pastures Spots...

With great sadness I am posting the news that #4 was killed last night 1/14/08 in a freak accident in his new home. From what we can tell, he and Firesweep (his best friend) were racing through their pasture and decided to try to jump the fence. Firesweep made it, #4 did not. He was thrown to the ground instantly breaking his neck. #4 was such a neat horse, coming in as a stallion he was nothing but sweet and always very sensitive. He had so many quirky & funny little ways about him. Leaving as a gelding, he was attentive and always looking to please you in any way he could. He had a personality like no other. He is now over the rainbow bridge floating on angel's wings. Rest in peace my funny boy... we will never forget you...
God forbid that I should
go to any heaven where there are no horses
