Loved and Not Forgotten; Fallen Friends of the Rescue

Lucky Boy

Lucky Boy is Garnet's brother. He is a Welsh Mountain pony, chestnut in color, with a few white markings. Lucky boy is one year older than his sister Garnet. Lucky boy also pulled a carriage at the Biltmore Hotel with his sister when he was younger. Lucky boy was also rescued about a year ago, where he was tied to a tree. After being rescued with his sister Garnet (see adopted horses), Lucky Boy shared the large stall and paddock with her. Like Garnet, Lucky Boy also helped with groups like the Girl Scouts, Indian Guides and Princesses, and Pony Parties to teach grooming and to give pony rides.

In April 2008, Lucky Boy passed away from natural causes, and was properly buried. After his passing you could see the loss in his sister Garnet, as she had spent 23 years with him. Garnet has now found a new buddy (Squirt), but has not forgotten Lucky Boy.

Freedom

Freedom's rescue case resulted in a call from someone who needed assistance with a twenty two year old Belgian/Thoroughbred mare named Freedom. Freedom had been used as a work horse the duration of her life and at the stage we were notified had substantial damage to her hooves and legs. After a few veterinarian visits and an experienced farrier, unfortunately there were no options available to enable her to stand correctly or walk effectively. She was clearly in enormous pain and had been for a long time and we needed to place her well being first, do the humane thing and have the vet put her down. With several of our dedicated board members present and lots of apples prior to the procedure, she is now pain free and is resting in peace. We will remember her always as part of our organization and are glad that Freedom is now truly "free".

Maynard

Maynard's rescue involved removing seven horses out of inhumane conditions where they were living in filthy stalls and left unattended for a substantial time frame. In conjunction with a local humane society, the rescue transpired in December, 2007. Since the rescue, these seven horses have had veterinary care, solid feed and vitamins and multiple feet trimmings. Most of their feet are getting back to normal with the exception of one. Unfortunately, Maynard had to be put down as his feet were to far gone to retrieve and the infection from them could not be reversed. We will always keep Maynard close to our hearts.
