I have been trying to find the words all day to fully comprehend what this week has been. However my colleagues over at Countryside Equine Hospital have said it best🤍
•
Dr. Gard was amazing, kind, knowledgeable, patient, and there’s just not enough words to describe how amazing of a person she was. Auburn University is having a scholarship in her name. To add just a little bit of light in this darkness, I will be making a donation towards it, and any donation that y’all make, if you send me a screenshot, I will match that donation as well.🤍

Today, we pause from our regularly scheduled content.
Our flag will fly at half-staff today as we mourn and remember all the innocent lives cut short by evil.
We fly at half-staff for the victims of 9/11. The terrorist attacks against this country 24-years ago continues to create ripple effects of grief and serves as a painful reminder of the evil in the world.
We fly at half-staff for Charlie Kirk and the values he stood for—faith, family, and freedom. These are not just words to us—they are principles we strive to honor daily, and the very values that make our country strong.
We fly at half-staff for the senseless murders of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee seeking safety and opportunity in the US, and Dr. Julie Schnuelle, a veterinary professor and researcher at Auburn University.
We fly at half-staff for the victims of the school-shooting at Evergreen High School, where students were hurt and their lives forever changed.
Today, we reflect and mourn as a community.
We are bound together not only by where we live, but by the ideals we cherish: the pursuit of happiness, the ability to build businesses, the blessing of raising families, and the freedom to speak boldly without fear. These are rights we must defend and uphold—not only for ourselves, but for our children and our neighbors.
Countryside is more than just a business. We are part of this community. We are your neighbors, your friends, and proud Americans.
In the face of darkness, we are reminded that there is still light—good still triumphs over evil, and truth still stands against lies. We stand together, united as Americans, grateful for the opportunities this great country affords us, and steadfast in our resolve to honor those who can no longer stand beside us.
May God comfort the grieving, strengthen the weary, and bless the United States of America.
With heavy hearts,
The Countryside Equine Team
