We said goodbye to Duke today.
He was the biggest horse at the farm, and had an exceptionally kind and gentle way of interacting with everyone he met.
I can’t thank Dr. Cohen with JLC Veterinary Service enough for getting to the farm so quickly, and after an exam and confirmation that it was time, for helping Duke pass peacefully and smoothly.
I’ll post some Duke memories over the next few days, as he touched the lives of so many with his kind heart and gentle ways.
Duke was about 30 years old, which is pretty remarkable for a big draft horse. I am so thankful that he was able to have his final chapters be wonderful here at Browndog Farm, where he receive the best care, excellent nutrition, and was loved by so many.
Hug your horses, and please support animal rescues and sanctuaries.
