Gabby
On a sad note, our Sweet Gabby passed December 28th of 2005. Gabby was 34 years young and one of those special " once in a lifetime" horses. She will be missed by us all. We were so fortunate to have her for so long and now we all know what to look for when we purchase our first horse. Gabby has her wings. |

Star
On a sad note once again...... Our lovely, dear, feisty pony, "Star", has earned her wings. Our resident "rockstar" of a pony, that so many of you knew and loved, had been struggling with arthritis for the last few years and in her old age, just lay down one beautiful early spring day for a long nap. She was tired and sore and didn't want to stand anymore. Unfortunately, ponies and horses cannot live lying down. So we fed her a wonderful "tossed salad" with all the trimmings of carrots and clover and grass and grain. The vet was called and after some long goodbyes she was given a shot to go to sleep. We all...everyone who knew her, loved her and the story of "Star" will live on in our hearts and stories. She brought much joy to many riders and inspired many beginners that continue to ride today. We were all so lucky to know her and love her and now celebrate her "wings". We all miss you "Star"...you surely left us all a Happy Trail.
