In Loving Memory

It's hard when the animals that have brightened our lives move on to greener pastures. We selfishly miss their presence and the way they brightened our day. We sometimes struggle to put on a brave face and smile at all the wonderful memories. Isn't it amazing how at the very moment they leave us, so too, do all the frustrating times? We are left with only the good times, and these we will cherish, and cling to fiercely. I'm sure, in time, this page will begin to get longer and longer, but it's here to help cope with the loses, and help keep those memories alive. I hope that all of you that have loved and lost a special animal will remember them as you glance through this page. Let it bring a smile to your face as we will all see each other again!

She was a rescued Standardbred off the Harness track. I have learned something from every horse I have ever owned, work with, ridden... Willow taught me patience as rehabilitating an ex-racer was a learning experience. She turned out to be the worlds biggest puppy dog!!

Willow teaching my young neice that horses are great!!

Pretty good looking horse...
