 Dally
was a
retired
running
horse. He
came to
Begin Again
Farms on
July 17,
2006. He had
broken ears
from tick
bites that
had not been
treated
right away.
He was
somewhere in
his late
twenties. He
loved kids
and had a
big heart
and a lot of
spirit. He
suffered
from
Cushing's
disease. He
lost his
battle on
Oct 30,
2007. Dally
is still
remembered
by all the
kids at the
barn. |
 Shadow
came to
Begin Again
Farms in mid
may of 2007.
He came in
with his
companion
Red Cloud.
We
discovered
on his first
day that he
was blind in
his left eye
which had a
tumor inside
the eyelid.
In his short
months with
us, he
suffered a
stroke cause
by the
tumor. With
the help of
the local
vets, we
were able to
make is last
few months
happy and
comfortable.
He lost his
battle on
Oct 30,
2007. Gone
but not
forgotten. |

Mr.
Rebble
was a 35
year old
arab/walker.
He had been
with us for
many years.
He finally
just
couldn’t get
his body up
and down any
longer and
the decision
had to be
made to stop
his
suffering.
We all miss
him very
much and
think of him
often. He
and Tony
Pony are
buried next
to one
another. |
 TONY
PONY
Tony pony was a little white
Shetland pony. He came to Begin
Again with severe chronic founder.
WE tried everything we could to give
him a better quality of life.
Unfortunately we were unable to
change his condition. The only thing
we were able to do was to make him
as comfortable as possible and love
him dearly. He was a favorite of all
the children that visit our farm. He
had one blue eye and one brown eye.
He loved to be brushed and pampered.
He wore little blue tennis shoes on
his front feet. He passed away this
February. Many tears were shed but
we know he is out of pain and
finally running the way he has
wanted to for years. |
BO KNOWS
Bo was a big beautiful black,
Percheron/Thoroughbred, gelding. He
came to us from Kentucky for
retirement. His owner, a lovely
young lady, thought enough of him to
send him to a warm climate to live
out his days in comfort surrounded
by loving friends. And Bo did become
everyone’s best friend. When he
first arrived the children where
terrified of him because of his
size. It didn’t take long before
they never even saw how large he was
and all their fears disappeared. He
was a very trustworthy soul and
would never harm anyone. We will
grieve for him for a long time. |
ANGEL
Angel was a lovely bay Arabian mare.
She spent some wonderful time with
the children at the farm. She was
very good with them in every way.
Unfortunately she had many tumors
that caused her to colic on us
several times before she past away.
She had the opportunity to show
children and adults many miracles
while she was alive. We will not
forget that lovely lady. |
HUMBEE
Humbee was the strangest addition to
come to our farm since we have been
here. He was a wonderful fuzzy and
funny Llama. He was quite the
character and loved so very dearly.
I don’t think we will ever get over
the loss of this Llama boy. We
didn’t think we could ever become so
attached to this goofy guy. But just
thinking of him as I write this
makes tears stream down my face. I
remember when he has given to us as
a gift, thinking what we are going
to do with this thing. None of us
knew anything about llamas. He came
with a cart and harness. He was
supposed to pull the cart. We put
the harness on him and he promptly
proceeded to leap into the air then
throw him self onto the ground and
roll his eyes into the back of his
head. We thought we had just killed
him and took the harness off as
quickly as possible. Then we found
out he was just faking it. We
decided we would be pulling the cart
long before Humbee. He finally
became our best buddy when we gave
him a hair cut and a bath. After
that you could often feel soft llama
lips on the back of your neck. I
will personally never recover from
losing Humbee. He will forever be
missed at Begin Again Farms. |
OKIE
Okie was a bay Quarter horse
gelding. Okie suffered from chronic
severe founder. He was always
getting into things. He was somewhat
the loner. I believe that was
because of the pain that was always
with him. We buried him and Humbee
together. We tried many ways to make
Okie more comfortable with out
success. It was finally just the
kindest thing to let him go. |
GAYMEL
Gaymel was a beautiful chestnut
Arabian mare. What a special horse
she was. She taught many children
and adults to ride. She gave kisses
to everyone. She was spunky and very
stoic up until the day she died. To
the best of our knowledge she was
approximately 30 years old when she
died. Never have I met a horse with
more heart and love to give than
Gaymel. She changed lives and found
her way into many people’s hearts.
She will be remembered and sorely
missed for a long, long time to
come.
