With the Angels

HORSE PRAYER

Don't cry for the horses, that life has set free - A million white horses forever to be.
Don't cry for the horses, now in God's hands - As they dance and they prance to a heavenly band

They were ours as a gift, but never to keep - As they close their eyes , forever to sleep
Their spirits unbound, on silver wings they fly - A million white horses, against the blue sky

Look up into heaven, you'll see them above - The horses we lost, the horses we loved
Manes and tails flowing, they gallop through time - They were never yours, they were never mine

Don't cry for the horses, they will be back someday - When our time has come, 
They will show us the way.

Do you hear that soft nicker, close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses - Love the ones that are here.

SkySky was a very special, gentle spirit. He was a flea bitten grey 26 year old Arabian gelding. He was very thin when he arrived at Whispering Hearts, but he quickly and steadily started to gain weight! Aside from being under weight, his health was great! He was very young at heart! May 27, 2012 was a very sad day at the rescue - the day we had him laid to rest. He brought many humans much joy and left this world with dignity and love,

Rest In Peace dear boy, you are running free in fields of green with no pain.

 

shylo0Shylo was rescued from an auction. He was passed on by everyone when he went through. WHHR went to the following week's auction where he appeared again. He was so thin, halter marks deeply cutting into his face and cuts all over legs that were infected. He came home to WHHR that day. He was a very special little man. So sweet and gentle despite the obivous mistreament he had received prior. He was cleaned up, wounds taken care of, and fattened up.

He went out in the herd and was allowed to be a horse! He loved it. But due to his age, his body eventually couldn't keep up anymore. And, that hard decision had to be made. He knew what it was to be happy, and now he is free.

 

daisy0We tried so hard to get Daisy back to health. She really was starting to do so well! She was gaining weight and loving life. Unfortunately it was cut short. Her body was too far gone. Her organs couldnt keep up. That terrible decision had to be made. She at least had some happiness and all the love she could ever ask for at the end of her life. The way she should have her whole life. We all sadly miss her. She was an angel and now she has her wings.

 

LITTLEJACKSON1Jackson was 3 years old. He came to us with a severe upper respitory infection, fused joints and weak lungs due to damage cause by previous illness. He looked like a young foal due to stunted growth.
Rest in Peace little buddy.

 

SUNNYSEPT26081Sunny had severe laminitis which took her life. She was a beautiful mare with a lot to offer if only she could have had the chance.
Rest in Peace my dear beauty, no more pain.
