 Burnie unknown - 2011 |
In loving memory of the horse with a spirit so strong and kind that it could only be matched by his guardian angel Allie, with whom he lived his last days happily. We know you will always watch over Allie with a love equal to what she has given you. From all your friends |

 Rosalie Logan 1913-1994 |
Equine Guelph pays tribute to Rosalie Logan. Rosalie was a noted horsewoman in life and continued to share her love of the horse even after she passed away. Rosalie’s family made a generous memorial contribution to Equine Guelph which made possible a new workshop, Integrative Therapies, in 2011. This evening resulted in a full house of eager horse owners in an Ontario Veterinary College lecture hall. Rosalie believed an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure, and Equine Guelph was pleased to facilitate this workshop and honour the memory of Rosalie. The Team at Equine Guelph |

 Honey Bun circa 1980 to 2011 |
In memory of our Honey, sweet to the end, who died peacefully on Saturday night June 4, 2011. Michaela and Carrie sat with her in the cozy nest of hay reflecting on the gift Honey has been in our lives. Honey shared her gentle, patient, sometimes mischievous self with us for 19 years! It is quite an adjustment to get used to her absence as she was our “Eveready Bunny” matriarch. We are so grateful that she came into our lives.
Honey is buried on the Feilders’ farm just behind the pond with a great view of hay fields and sunset. An oak tree will be planted over her grave which is sure to grow into a strong and giving tree.
From all those who knew her, especially Carrie, Michaela, Briagh and Tyler |

 Indy 2000-2009 |
Indy was the most amazing horse you could ever own. He was extremely gentle; he was so sweet and with him I learned to trust horses again after a very bad fall. He gave me back my confidence. With him I felt like I could win all the ribbons and all the trophies, no matter what people said about him being half draft. He was mine, my love and I miss him so much. What hurts the most is that I didn't even get to say goodbye. It started with a colic and it finished with an intestinal ulcer. They put him to sleep one morning and they told me he was amazing because considering how much suffering he had gone through, he had never shown it until the very end. He will always be in my heart... I love you Indy. Catherine Georges |

 Tony 1967 – 1994 Somewhere in time's own space There must be some sweet pastured place Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow. Some paradise where horses go. ~Stanley Harrison |
Tony was that once-in-a lifetime horse for me. He was a Morab stallion, and I spoiled him terribly, because he was so gentle it didn’t matter. He had been raised and trained right, and he loved people and trusted them to take care of him --- and he took care of people, too. I was his favorite person, though, and when we were together, life was perfect for both of us. A stable owner once told me that Tony’s whinny was different when I was with him, and I knew what she meant. I’d heard him whinny when he didn’t know I was around, and it was just a whinny. When I was with him, though, his whinny said “My person is here, and we’re ready to take on the world!” We were two halves of a whole, and no other horse will ever fill the void he left in my heart when he died. I still miss him so very, very much. I love you, Tony. You will always be in my thoughts. You were such a special horse.

 Triste 1950 – 1978 The horse through all its trials has preserved the sweetness of paradise in its blood. ~Johannes Jensen |
Sometimes, someone says something about your horse that sticks in your mind, because it is so true. A groom once called Triste the most “dutiful” horse he’d ever seen, and he was right on the money. She had a hard life before I bought her, so she didn’t like people much, but I was her special friend. Other people couldn’t catch her even in her stall --- even with treats --- but for me, she came whenever I called her. I never quite got her over being nervous when she was being ridden, so she was often on the verge of running away, but she tried very hard to do whatever I asked of her. She was my first horse and my first pet horse, and I loved her dearly. She worked very hard for most of her life, and she deserved better than the harsh treatment she’d clearly endured, but now she is finally resting in peace. I love you, Triste. Wendy Koch |

 Pal's Beau Jacque 1973 - 2009 "Think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost - and he was loved so much." E. Brenneman |
He was an A.Q.H.A. Superior Trail Horse who earned a total of 237 American Quarter Horse Association points in multiple performance and halter events during his show career. 'Jacque' retired in 1989 and had a wonderful 20 years of retirement. He brought out the best in everyone and had many friends. Heather Heighes |

 Jesse 1978 - 2008 |
'Jesse' was a spunky 29-1/2 years young TB with a huge heart full of love that he shared with me. I had to say goodbye to him on June 26th of this year when he developed tumours in his jaw. I would like to honour his memory. Janice Rodgers |

 Pokey Sweet Clover 1975 – 2003 |
Clover was a sweetheart. He loved to give kisses. He would wiggle his nose on your cheek and if you turned around he would massage the back of your neck. It felt wonderful!!! Clover was a sensible horse and he always brought me back to the barn safe and sound. He holds a special place in my heart and I sorely miss him. Joanne Ott |
