We have lost some beloved animals in our lives, you can read their stories below.
The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special
friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water
and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor.
Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we
remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy
and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special
to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body
quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and
you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
"No heaven can be heaven, if my horse isn't there to welcome me."

Zip To My Abbie - "Piggy" 1991 - 2005
Piggy was a great mare that loved everyone! She was a timid girl, but she loved to please her owner. She was a beautiful palomino that had a great career in halter as well as western pleasure. Piggy had a foal out of Buckeye in 2005, three days before she passed. She coliced very bad three days after she foaled and we were unable to save her, but we are lucky enough to have a foal out of her named Boss! He is very much like Piggy in looks and personality. Piggy is missed, but we thank her for the time she gave us!

Conclusion Royalty - "Shoogie" 1998 - 2006
Shoogie was a beautiful chocolate palomino mare! She had such a short time here, but made a big impact on us! She got her name because she loved to give kisses to people. She was a great halter horse that gave it her all when she showed. She gave us two beautiful babies during her time with us. Shoogie will be deeply missed!
