ππ΄ FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, SPIRIT π΄π
It is with completely broken hearts that we share the sudden loss of our beloved miniature horse, Spirit.
Following an accident this week, Spirit crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Spirit was so much more than a miniβhe was a gentle teacher, a trusted friend and a very special part of Hooves & Hearts. He helped our students build confidence, practise new skills and experience the quiet, healing connection that only a horse can offer.
He loved scratches, pink peppermints and spending time with his best friend, Mrs. Frizzle. The friendship they shared was truly one of a kind.
We want to sincerely thank Melanie Gignac and her family for sharing their sweet boy with us and with all of our students. Because of their generosity, Spirit was able to touch so many lives and create memories that will always be treasured.
Spirit taught us so many lessons during his time with us. Now, he is teaching us one of the hardest lessons of allβthe lesson of saying goodbye and remembering just how precious our time together truly is.
We are devastated by this unexpected loss. Spirit will be deeply missed by his family, our volunteers, our students and everyone whose heart he touched.
Thank you, Spirit, for every gentle moment, every lesson and every memory. You helped make Hooves & Hearts what it is, and your hoofprints will remain on our hearts forever.
Run free, sweet boy. Until we meet again. β€οΈπ΄π
