Kelly, 20yo Quarter Horse Mare
Kelly was a starvation case.
She was with us for a week before she died. She was a sweet, sweet
girl and we wanted so much to save her. Rest in Peace, Kelly.
There is no shortage of food in Heaven.

Cass, 23yo Gelding
Cass was surrendered by his owner
because she was unable to care for him. He was suffering with horribly
debilitating arthritis and could barely walk. He came to us as a
starvation case. As he gained weight back, his arthritis became worse
and worse. It came to a point where he could no longer even get back
and forth for meals. We had to make the difficult decision to
euthanize him in order to stop his suffering. He was gentle and sweet
and he's dearly missed.

Dart
21 yr old Thoroughbred/Appaloosa
Cross
Dart competed in 2nd Level Dressage and worked with kids
for years.
He came to Whisper Ranch during the summer of '07 for
soundness issues. We rehabilitated him and adopted him out in late
August to a wonderful family. Unfortunately, Dart had a severe colic
with a bad blockage right after he was adopted and had to be euthanized.
He will be missed.

Jim, dear friend, you amazed us
all. Your time with us was cherished. You died knowing you were adored,
nurtured, respected, and deeply loved....we are grateful for the opportunity
we had to give you that after so many years of neglect. You were all heart.
Thank you for being a special teacher and pal.

Rosie
24 years old
Arabian Mare
Rosie was a kind, patient mare.
She was gentle and outgoing with visitors (especially children), in spite of
the fact that her condition caused her pain. Rosie had Degenerative
Suspensory Ligament Desmitis or DSLD. (Go to
www.dsld.org for more info.) We
loved her and treated her like a Queen for as long as her body would last
and then kindly sent her on to join Jim in Heaven's greener pastures.
