Goodbye to Striker

I am very sad to say that today we had to say good-bye to Striker ;( 

He came to Ferrell Hollow Farm last fall, after a significant stifle injury that left him unsound, but he was able to enjoy his time here, even with his leg issues. This week he sustained another injury to that stifle, from possibly slipping or getting up, and was not able to recover.

Striker was an adorable black and white spotted saddle horse who brought a smile to every one he met.  Always curious about everything, he loved to follow me around, sniff my pockets, and nudge me for one more face scratch. 

I will miss your sweet face!

We will still offer retirement boarding for special needs seniors who have an owner willing to support them, as well as offer permanent sanctuary for senior horses who do not have a special person to provide for their care. We have filed our Charter with the State of TN, and the rigorous process of completing mountains of paperwork has begun! As part of this,...
