Tinsel – Forever in Our Hearts

May 24th, 2018

It is with heavy hearts that we must inform you, that earlier this evening, Tinsel, with assistance from the vet, went to Rainbow Bridge. Tinsel passed very peacefully.

Theresa is understandably, completely devastated to have suffered yet another loss but she is at peace knowing that our sweet, brave girl is no longer in pain and is now healthy and strong as she happily romps throughout the verdant fields of heaven with Betsy Rose by her side.

Arthritis in Tinsel’s hock was severe and recently, her bad days began to outnumber the good. Dr. Ted and Theresa had agreed weeks ago that if it got to the point when Tinsel’s quality of life wasn’t good and all efforts to help her had been exhausted, it would be time to let her go. Tinsel’s discomfort worsened yesterday after she got up from a good roll. A horse just can’t live a good quality of life on three legs. This morning Tinsel told her beloved Mommy Theresa, that it was time to go…….

Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement for Tinsel during the past several months as she bravely fought to overcome her issues. We know that Tinsel is also very appreciative of the love and support that she received from each and every one of you.
