Bosco joined the Paramount herd in September of 2022 after retiring from his position in an adaptive riding and then equine assisted learning program in the New England area. While he remained mostly retired after moving here, he was a favorite of volunteers to groom and spend time with, and he took on small roles in our EAL program as well. Unfortunately, on Thursday Bosco began to colic. After being seen in the field by Jax Equine, it was recommended he be taken to UF for further diagnostics and treatment. At UF, it was determined he had a tumor interfering with his ability to move food through his small intestine, and the decision was made to end his suffering. We will miss his antics while playing with his best friend Jake, the way he watched the riding activities in the arena as if he were evaluating each and every lesson, and his ability to make participants light up when they’d finally win him over and get him to work together with them. Our hearts go out to his owner, Erik, and all those who loved him here. We invite you to share your photos and memories of Bosco in the comments below. ❤️🩹
