Cowboy
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to save them, it's an
animal's time to go. Such was the case with Cowboy. Rescued from
neglect, we're thankful he new love, care and happiness in the
end. Our hearts are heavy that he left us so soon.

Sadie - TBar #D246
Sadie knew it was her time, so she laid down by her pups, Jasmine
and Marcus and went to sleep. We're comforted that she
knew lots of love in the end.

A Poem Don't cry for the animals
That life has set free
A million white animals
Forever to be
Don't cry for the animals
Now in God's hands
As they dance and they play
To a heavenly band.
They were ours as a gift
But never to keep
As they close their eyes
Forever to sleep
Their spirits unbound
On silver wings they fly
A million white animals
Against the blue sky
Look up into heaven
You'll see them above
The animals we lost
The animals we loved
Tails, ears or manes flowing
They run through time
They were never yours
They were never mine
Don't cry for the animals
They will be back someday
When our time has come
They will show us the way
Do you hear that soft whisper
Close to your ear?
Don't cry for the animals
Love the ones that are here.

Horses

Lil Bit and Big Ben
Lil Bit was so tiny, even for a mini,
and Big Ben was so big. And yet they were best friends. They were the
favorites of visitors to TBAR and will be deeply missed. They passed within
months of each other. Lil Bit died suddenly as can happen with tiny minis.
Big Ben was older and died peacefully while fighting a serious
illness.

Daisy - TBar #H085
This pony suffered from
moon blindness, but found love and healing at her foster home.
Daisy passed over the Rainbow Bridge from a sudden, severe case of
colic. Now she can see again.

Victoria - TBar #H047
This graceful, elderly lady
was rescued from the auction house and lived out her last years
with lots of love and care. She was featured in ABC's Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition.

Toot - TBar #H090
Toot was seized by law
enforcement and was severely starved. TBAR and the vets did
everything they could to save Toot, but his poor body couldn't
come back. It broke our hearts to see such a young horse suffer
so; and his story still pains us. At least now he is at Peace with all the
food he can eat and lots of love.

Chief
Chief was seized with 2
other horses for severe neglect. He was all bones and could not
stand, even with lots of people helping. TBAR spent the night in
the pasture with Chief, hoping he would be able rise in the
morning. But his weakened body could not recover. Now Chief is at Peace with all the
food he can eat and lots of love. He will never suffer
again.

Bamboo - TBar #H042
Bamboo was donated to TBAR in lieu of
seizure. She had been the family horse that the children grew up on, but
they stopped feeding her when she got old. At TBAR she enjoyed lots of love,
food and TLC and had a peaceful retirement. The time came when it was clear
it was Bamboo's time to cross-over.
