The holidays can be very enjoyable but they also bring about their own stressors. Our horses offer a calm, healing space and remind us to pause, rest and reflect.

Remember to take care of yourself this holiday season.

Yesterday, we said a heart-wrenching goodbye to Flirt. After a decade as a cherished member of the program, her steady, kind spirit and quiet leadership will leave an irreplaceable void in our hearts.

Flirt was a competitive reining horse in her younger years, but then developed arthritis and was forced into medical retirement. At Horses & Heroes Inc. she found new purpose, a new mission, and a new job. Flirt was the quiet leader of our herd. Her leadership style showed us that to be a leader is a state of the heart; a belief in yourself. Not boastful, not rude or loud, just quiet, self-assured.

When Flirt first arrived from WI, she proudly wore green and gold ribbons and a blanket. Of course, we had a changing of the colors ceremony, and we donned her with red and gold ribbons and attire. Flirt was built like a linebacker, thick and muscular. I affectionately called her my little beef-cake. Towards the end, though, her body was wasting, her eyes told us she was ready. Flirt, you changed and saved many lives. Your quiet presence at Horses & Heroes Inc. was a gift. We will always be grateful to you. Rest easy, my friend.
