Remembering Our Friends

We remember our equine friends that have left the world of form. We know that their souls continue. Our friends live in the memories of all the living beings that they encountered in the form world. We are grateful to have the opportunity to care for them.

Razzy

Razzy - Passed on July, 9, 2019

Our journey began with Razzy. We were looking at horses in a feedlot near Sunnyside Washington. While we were view horses we met a person who was also looking for horses. She had rescued several horses and she mentioned that she had a paint mare that needed a home. She explained that the horse had come from a starvations situation. She had taken the horse to her place but no longer had room.

We visited Razzy in a barn near Seattle and she was a very spirited young at heart 30 year old mare. We decided that we could provide a place for the beautiful girl. She was our first “rescue horse” Razzy made the journey to Hood River and as she was being unloaded it was casually mentioned that “ oh by the way she might have been exposed to a Mammoth Jack donkey” Well, we thought at thirty years old chances of her being pregnant was fairly remote... Razzy gained weight and we thought it was the nutritious feed she was receiving. However, it became clear that nature did take its course and Razzy foaled our girl Daisey.

Razzy was a wonderful mother and she and Daisy were very close and as we pastured all the horses together in a herd they blended into their herd roles with Daisey being taught by her mom and the other herd members. Razzy was kind and she loved to be affectionate. Children could be with her or ride her. I believe her last years were peaceful and she was secure.

Madre

Madre - Passed on July, 11, 2020
Madre came to us as an eight to nine year old Mustang from the Nevada Range BLM. She was the partner of Navarone and while they were being held in the feedlot she watched over Navarone as he was blind in one eye and was vulnerable on that left side. As they made the journey to Oregon they had to stop in Nevada for quarantine and during that time Madre would allow Navarone to eat first as she watched over him. Our girl Madre was a kind and gentle soul who we miss deeply.

Maggie

Maggie - Passed on January 28, 2023

Maggie arrived at the sanctuary in her 33 year of life. Maggie was an Arabian mare that had an owner who was in a life transition. Maggie was a senior Matriarch of the herd. Let's say like a grandmother. She loved to be surrounded by the senior geldings. Jack was her favorite. Sometimes you can feel the warmth of a horse by being near them as another living being, and sense their spirit. Maggie was a gentle spirit with the attitude of a young filly. In Maggie's eyes, you could see her wisdom and kind being. Maggie had touched my heart and she is missed.

Sissy

Sissy - Passed on
March 7, 2024.

Sissy came to us in as 25 year old Tennesee Walking horse. She was kind and beautiful spirit
and we miss her. Sissy arrived at the santuary in May of 2023. We never know the history of a horse when they arrive. Sissy jumped right of the trailer and made herself right at home. Sissy loved to be with senior "boy friends". Sissy was beautiful to watch run.

We feel grateful to have had her presence for a time.
So long sweet girl.
