Today we had to say goodbye 😢 to the wonderful Butterfly 🦋

Born here at Aster Horses 18 years ago, Butterfly has been part of our lives ever since. Ridden by Daniel throughout her life, she proudly represented GBR 🇬🇧on many occasions and gave us so many incredible memories along the way.

Thank you for everything, you wonderful, kind mare. You will always hold a very special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten. ❤️

Run free now, Butterfly, and be reunited with your human mum, ‘Barbie’, in heaven. 🦋❤️❤️
Thank you for all the wonderful memories. You truly were one in a million. 🐎
