This afternoon, Peat joined Hercules in the big paddock in the sky 🕊️🌈

Peat had a history of gastrointestinal conditions and unfortunately today, the kindest thing to do was to let him join his herd members in the sky 🌈🕊️

Peat holds quite the list of achievements in his tenure as a phenomenal therapy horse 💙🐴✨ he has touched so many lives, been the reason behind many children's smiles and facilitated countless therapy sessions. Furthermore, Peat was a kind, but firm guiding role model in the herd 🐴💙✨ We can't thank you enough for your hard work, dedication and passion for your work, Peat ✨💙🐴 You can rest now special man 💙✨🐴

We love you so much. Until we meet again ❤️

✨💙🐴 SUNDAY FUNDAY FACTS 🐴💙✨

✨Did you know?

It is believed that horses have millions or billions more mirror neurons than humans do, which makes them experts at understanding nonverbal communication. The abundance of mirror neurons actually enables horses to empathise even more than humans are able to. 🐴

Pictured here is our very special G-Force demonstrating this in a very beautiful and powerful way ✨💙🐴

We've gone down a rabbit hole researching mirror neurons and it's absolutely fascinating to say the least ✨

The Best Horses in Heaven, They Have No Tail

by Miska Paget

The best horses in Heaven
they have no tail.
This is a rule they all know
without fail.
For when a new horse arrives
with a short cut bob,
they all know that this horse
did a very good job.

His owner could not bear
to part with her friend
so she saved his tail,
wrapped in ribbons
and in braids,
to hold with his memory
in a very loving way.

To enter Heaven
without a tail
is an honor,
a message,
that without fail
announces to everyone,
far and wide
that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

But
this horse was loved and cherished by one
and when his time serving on this Earth was done
he left behind
a broken heart
and a soul
from which he never will part.

We miss you already Hercules ✨
We love you so much boy 💙🐴✨
Rest well💙
Until we meet again 🌈✨

1994- 1 July 2024 🐴✨💙

We unfortunately had to bid our oldest herd member farewell this afternoon. Hercules was not well and upon veterinary clinical examination a large mass was found in his abdomen. Due to his impressive age, an existing heart murmur and poor prognosis it was decided that the kindest and most humane decision was to let Hercules join his friends in the big paddock in the sky🌈.

There are no words to describe special Hercules and his amazing contributions to the EARTH Centre. He has changed the lives of countless children and adults. He has guided many horses. ✨

We will be holding a memorial for Hercules on Friday 5th July at 10am at the EARTH Centre. We invite you to join us celebrate his life.

Thank you big boy. We love you so much. Rest in Peace oh powerful man. Until we meet again ❤️
