This page is dedicated to those horses who could not be saved or have passed on. May we remember them always.
"Romeo"
Sadly, Romeo had to be put to rest because of dangerous behavioural issues.…
He had become what he had been taught; he was a product of years of abuse.
Everything he did reflected a very abusive past. He did not know what it was to receive praise, to be told he was a good boy and to be loved by a human. Always waiting for the pain to come…….always bracing himself for it.
All humans had taught him was that they hurt. Sadly, by the time he came into our lives, he was beyond the point of convincing otherwise. Man had pushed him to his limits.
We remember Romeo as a good horse that didn’t know any different. He didn’t want to be mean or hurt anyone; he just didn’t want to be hurt anymore.
He has become the first of SAD’s angels and hopefully will watch over us, and also keep us all reminded of the price some animals have to pay for man’s abuse.
He is running free now. He is free from the torment and terror he once suffered…the pain he had to endure. Free of the fear he carried with him every second of everyday.
He is in a place where he knows what love is…… and now knows that he didn’t deserve the treatment he got while on this earth. He knows he was a good boy. He knows we loved him.
"Tiny Tim"
Sadly, Tiny Tim went peacefully on a Sunday due to complications from his spinal deformity. Despite the best efforts from his family and their Vet, he could not be saved. He was made very comfortable in his last moments and was surrounded by the people who gave him a place he could call home….the people who love him for him and thought he was perfect just the way he was.
His life was short, but he was loved and well looked after each and every day. We are very happy to have known such a sweet boy. He definitely had an impact on our lives and on many others, as we get asked about how he is doing all the time…..he is one who people remember and never stop thinking about. He just had that special something.
Quoted from his adoptive family....
"I want to thank you for the opportunity to have such a sweet soul, as he was, in our lives. He will be forever remembered and always missed..........
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away." He was breath-taking!!!"
