In Loving Memory

They say some horses leave hoofprints on our hearts, I, however say only a few are actually capable of sailing away with them.

The pain and loss I feel right now feels unbearable. The only comfort I have is knowing she is in a better place.


Somewhere, somehow in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where streams sing on and tall trees grow
A Paradise where horses go
With all my love to you I send
I know Great Horses live again


Kylie came to me wrapped in what dreams are made of. Her beautiful soul made my world a better place.


Thank you, Kylie, for being the horse of my dreams, I miss you more than words can say. Forever and always in my heart, my love; until we meet again.



The Rainbow Bridge For Horses
Author Unknown


By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
when their time on earth is over and done.


For here, between this world and the next,
is a place where beloved creatures find rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
til The Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.


No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed.
Their bodies have healed with strength imbued.


They trot through the grass without even a care,
til one day they whinny and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes sharp and alert.
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the herd.


For just at that second, there's no room for remorse.
As they see each other...one person...one horse.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past
The time of their parting is over at last.


The sadness they felt while they were apart
has turned to joy once more in each heart.
They nuzzle with a love that will last forever.
And then, side-by-side, they cross over...together.

So sorry for your loss. I know that pain all too well. Kylie, as you cross the rainbow bridge, I hope you find my big gray gelding named Monty. He was the light of my life and will be your friend until you and your mom meet once more.

Oh no.... I am so very sorry. My heart just breaks for you. I don't know what else to say. Maybe Kylie will bump into my Justin and if so, I'm sure they'll both agree, they were very, very loved.
