Willow (c1988 Jan 2011)

 Willow was put to sleep quite unexpectedly due to a severe Colic and she is very much missed by everyone who knew her. Willow was generally a healthy horse but had a mild colic recently, and the vet thinks that she may have had some kind of a tumour which caused part of her gut to begin to die.
 Willow was the first horse rescued under the new board of trustees at Hope Pastures and we quickly became very fond of her, she was so sad and thin on arrival but after lots of good feed and TLC  she soon got her spirit back and became very proud and highly strung. She looked beautiful galloping to the field with her head held high and her tail up in the air, it is a sight we will miss and how we will always remember her.
Willows friends also miss her and now walk quietly down for their  tea without  Willow to lead the way, as she always galloped ahead. We are privaleged to have known Willow and she will never be forgotten.
We hope that Willow galloped over Rainbow Bridge and is now prancing around free from pain with her old companions.
