Sad to share we lost our sweet Lily girl last night. If you have been around our program you will know she was the most dependable and calm therapy horse you could ever ask for. She taught so many kids not only to ride but was a safe place for them to be themselves. She never spooked when kids would run up to her and she loved to be groomed so much that it would always nap while they brushed. She hasn't been ridden in a long while but was always a part of our family and program as we loved her and made her comfortable until the end. She was also able to be reunited with her sister Dream who was brought to us last year and they had a nap in the sun laying side by side together on her last day. She had a beautiful warm last day and laid down for a nap in the sun but with her advanced age, cancer and failing heart she didn't have the strength to get back up. We all brushed her and hugged her and fed her her favorite candy canes until the vet told us it was her time. We will miss you Lily, even though feeding will be quicker today we will miss the trail of hay you would dump out of the wheelbarrow every time we filled it. We love you Lily!

One more day open of or 5th annual Trot or Treat! Collect candy, stickers and toys while you trick or treat on costumed horses through our Halloween themed course. Stick around to mix up a 'potion' and feed it to our horses! Join in some Halloween crafts and games! Just a few spots left - grab yours here!
