Heavens-Gate

In Loving Memory

It is with broken hearts that we say this..
last night between 9pm and midnight,
February 29th, 2008, one of the bravest
souls we have ever had the Honour 
of knowing crossed over the
 rainbow bridge.  He passed quietly
in his sleep, surrounded by his two
sisters, Kisses and Sunday, at the only
real home he had ever known.
There are no words to describe
 the loss and  emptiness that we feel.
Earlier in the evening he had his weekly
 check up and blood work done,
with normal temperature, normal heart
rate, and lots,and lots of weight gain
since his last check up.

If It Should Be

The WindChill Legacy

The experts warned us from the beginning
not to get our hopes up, because the odds
were just overwhelmingly stacked against him. We never told Windchill that. We accepted each day with him as a gift, we watched his progress in awe - as did the entire nation.
This little horse became a beacon of hope
for so many who had lost their faith in humanity.
He taught us that no matter what happens in your life, no matter how unfair,
you can still have faith and you can find love
to carry you to a better place. He found the
good in the world.

We don't know where to start.
On Saturday, February 9th we 
rescued a 9 month old Walkaloosa
 (Tennessee Walker - Appaloosa cross)
at a farm in the area. Frigid conditions
(-10F) mixed with high winds  (30mph,
wind chill of -50F) finally overcame
the little guy's already weakened condition.
Suffering from dehydration,
malnourishment, hypothermia and
frostbite, we loaded the colt we've been
calling Wind Chill into one of our
horse trailers and raced for home.

The Cruelty towards the most vulnerable inflicted   by humans, leaves me speechless.

After cremation, he will be brought home for a proper burial.
 Once the tears have eased up and we can think clearly again, we will be starting a Foundation in his Honor.
His brave fight will not have been in vain.
