HOOFPRINTS TRIBUTE

This tribute was recently submitted in memory of Burnie. Equine Guelph pays its respects to this lost equine friend and would like to share Burnie's remembrance with you.

"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 to match what she has given you. From all your friends."

In Loving memory of Burnie
