MEMORIALS

Fancy Poco Wood aka Sarge

Unfortunately, on July 8, 2020 Sarge was laid to rest. We are so thankful for the short amount of time we had him. Sarge will always be loved and never forgotten!

Red Texas Willow aka Willow

Unfortunately, Willow was in a freak accident that  cause severe injury to her leg. She is buried beneath an old willow tree. She sadly passed away on her first birthday. She will be extremely missed!

Clyde

Clyde was a 25+ year old Belgian we adopted from a rescue. He lived out his last few months with us buddied up to the smallest equine on property, Mini Pearly the 2nd. He was fondly nicknamed "Tiny" by Cody's Father

Pali

Pali came so far in the small amount of time she was with us. She was a crazy man killer horse no one wanted to get near at the auction. She docile right down with us and to the point she could be caught out in the pasture. She unfortunately cam up to us one day with a broken leg. We are unsure as to what happened but, she is dearly missed.

The Rescue Memorials

Shadow

Shadow was in for training from the Evanescent Mustang Rescue. He passed away September 1, 2020 of unforeseen circumstances and is laid to rest on the farm in Rice.

Daisy

Daisy was part of the TX24. She was 1 of 3 mothers that came in with babies by their sides. We believe she sustained a kick that fracture her hip as she was one of the more malnourished of the TX24 and was weak. We tried our hardest to help but, she just couldn't stay standing. She was peacefully laid to rest.

David

David was the weakest of the TX24. When he was dropped off he was found down in the trailer. We feared he wouldn't make it. Cody helped get him back on his feet and he was going so strong. Because of this, we gave him a strong biblical name. We aren't 100% what happened as he was gaining weight and doing well. We found him down in the field one day unable to keep himself standing. He was peacefully laid to rest with Daisy.

Boarder Memorials

Backyard Swagger aka Monkey

Monkey was our boarder Kristen's horse. He was 24+ years old. They moved to Texas this year. We had monkey only a few short weeks before what is believed to be underlying cancer took him. He got a few good weeks to  be a horse and enjoy the big Texas pastures. He is buried in the pet cemetery.

Gator

Gator, previously known as Patches, was adopted by our Boarder Kristen. He was a spunky little guy but, a freak accident made it to where he was unable to get up after falling to the ground down on the ground. We tried many times to pick him up and keep him going. Unfortunately, he was flailing so much and trying so hard he was ripping himself up. It was then agreed to lay him to rest easy instead of suffer.
