With Gentle Gratitude

“When we think of those companions who travelled by our side down life’s road, let us not say with sadness that they left us behind, but rather say with gentle gratitude that they once were with us.” ~ Author Unknown

We are very sorry to have to share the news that Valley Girl went to Rainbow Bridge on Thursday. We just could not fix the issues in her front feet nor keep her comfortable. It was time, even though we were not ready. She was a proud, grand old mare who was full of zest, kindness, and love.

Valley Girl was loved and will always remain in our hearts. Actually, she took a piece of my heart with her. But, I know we will meet up again someday. Our heavenly herd, sadly, just keeps getting bigger. Valley Girl now runs whole and pain free with her beloved Mishka and all her friends who have gone before her. I’m eternally grateful for the time she was with us.
