This afternoon, Peat joined Hercules in the big paddock in the sky ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ

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 ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Peat holds quite the list of achievements in his tenure as a phenomenal therapy horse ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿดโœจ he has touched so many lives, been the reason behind many children's smiles and facilitated countless therapy sessions.

โœจ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿด SUNDAY FUNDAY FACTS ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’™โœจ

โœจDid 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. ๐Ÿด

Pictured here is our very special G-Force demonstrating this in a very beautiful and powerful way โœจ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿด

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

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 โœจ
We love you so much boy ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿดโœจ
Rest well๐Ÿ’™
Until we meet again ๐ŸŒˆโœจ

1994- 1 July 2024 ๐Ÿดโœจ๐Ÿ’™

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 sky๐ŸŒˆ.

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. โœจ

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 โค๏ธ
