Not to be Forgotten

The equines on this page were and always will be part of WMERR. Sadly, each of them has passed on and has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Each of them has their own story and each of them had something to give. These equines hold a special place in our hearts and this page is a reminder to us and our supporters of why WMERR is here and all the lives that have been touched by these beautiful and majestic creatures.

 

They are gone, but not forgotten!

Indy: Aka IndyMaaan and Mean ole Mister Mustard, will forever be in our hearts, being one of two with us for 9 years. Last year he was diagnosed with bleeding ulcers. He was successfully treated and was his awesome self for a year and an half when once again he let us know he just didn't feel good. Scoping his stomach showed cancer. The heart wrenching final act of kindness...38 years old. He leaves footprints on all of our hearts. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sable: Sable was with us 9 years. Such an amazingly sweet and kind mare, and best friend to our Keisha. She had her best years with us, and though we did everything humanly possible to keep her happy and comfortable, there is no cure for extreme laminitis. We know she is running pain free with her friends who were waiting for her. 1999 AQHA mare at 15.1 hh. Amazingly calm, quiet and easy to get along with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JOHNNY: This beautiful 11 year old QH gelding was saved from the Sunnyside feedlot in WA last June by a woman in Alaska. Her intention after quarantine was to get him to Alaska, but her husband's cancer prohibited that, so he is being boarded at a facility in MT. She would like us to find him a home. Per my questions/request, he is scheduled for a dental check and float if needed, health and Coggins, de-worming, vaccinations, and farrier work on Friday 3/30/218. He is 15.1 hh, friendly, great to handle on the ground, loads and trailers well, good with his feet, loves the company of other horses, and is good in the herd. From the brief assessment by the folks where he is currently living, he doesn't appear to have much, if any, training under saddle.

 

 

 

 

 

BROCK: Not all mules are mulish. Brock makes our case against the stereotype of the stubborn mule. He loves affection and attention, is kind and gentle, and perfectly mannered for the farrier. Brock is just looking for a place to hang out with friends to share his wisdom and good sense. This 21 year old fella was much thinner when rescued because his neglected teeth made it hard for him to gain weight. Now he's slowly putting on  some pounds with a soft grass/alfalfa mix and some lightly soaked supplements.

Maudie

Our dear Miss Maudie took her departure on October 21, 2015 for a family reunion with her loved ones in the great pasture beyond. All of us, humans and horses, learned a great deal from her. She had dignity and personality plus! We miss her presence every day, honored to have had her in our company for four years. She had our deepest respect and admiration.

Cherry

Cherry...she was just that, the color of a dark, ripened cherry. After being here for two weeks, she "told" me that if I would just leave her stall door open, she would be our guard horse and not leave the property. So, having faith, I did that. Every morning, Cherry's door would be opened and she would head out of the barn, say hi to the other horses, graze peacefully on the lawn, approach visitors as if to say, "state your business as this is my place". This was and still is "Cherry's Place". She was on the front page of our local newspaper more than once, one of the veterinarians considered her our mascot so to speak. She is dearly missed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christiana

This little gal was abandoned, left in a grassless area with no way to get to the stream for water as it had iced on both sides. Christiana has since passed away due to cancer, but she enjoyed three years of love with us.
