In Memory of Storm

Today a very special horse left us to be in a better place. Storm was Spirit's best friend, and Hemie's best bud too. I was his very proud God-mother. Please send a prayer for his human, my close friend, Jessica.

 

Hey lady, do you have a cookie? I am very handsome!

Head shake moment!

Workin' hard with his momma.

The Rainbow Bridge Poem

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. 

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

Storm was an amazing horse - handsome, charismatic, laid back yet with plenty of pep. A scopey jumper and hard working dressager. And most of all, cuddlebug and dear friend.

One of the hardest things in life is to lose your horse. It's also hard to lose to your God-horse. I miss him already, but I believe that he is resting in peace, munching on some delicious grass in the meadows at Rainbow Bridge.
