Goodbye Dear Ben, Run Free Always . . .


This morning Ben was put to rest, surrounded by some of the many who loved him.


Misty, Carey, and Becky helped him leave this world.  Thank you
Dr. Branch for your compassionate assistance. 

Becky's heartfelt words say it all . . . 
"Ben had the biggest heart of any horse I've met. He was beautiful, strong, funny and brave and always tried his best for you, even when he hurt. I wish Ben had been given an easier path in life, but I am grateful for having met him. He touched all of our lives and he will never be forgotten.

Angel Loves Her Hoof Trimmer




Meet Jessica White, one of our volunteers and a mighty fine hoof trimmer.  Jessica  volunteers to keep our horses feet fit and healthy.  Thank you Jessica!


See that soft eye - that was Angel all through the trim.  Relaxed and loving the attention.


Jessica has been trimming for several years - she has an excellent feel for balance.


There was a bit of bruising under Angel's overgrown bars.


Jessica has a gentle touch with our senior mare. 


Jessica, Thank you SO VERY MUCH for all you do for our horses!


What's this?  Happy new feet AND a kiss?   Thank you Shelby for all your help today!


We also appreciate the excellent trimming of our other volunteer trimmer,
Natalie Herman of  Epona's Natural Hoofcare)
