"In Remembrance"
We kept him until he died...and
sat with him during the long,
last minutes when a horse comes closest to seeming human.

Toni -
You had such a good heart and a kind eye.
You took such good care of my daughter Brittney. You had a heart
the size of a Clydesdale. I’ll always remember that mischievous
look in your eye and the flicking of your toes when you trotted away
when you managed to escape. It was great fun for you to play catch
me if you can! Your deep throaty nicker greeting when it was feeding
time. You were a patient and loving school pony and brought smiles
and joy to so so many children. No matter how small or timid the
child you always made a friend. Thank-you Peanut, I love you.

heaven be, if my horse isn't there to welcome me.”

Cheryl -
We were SO sad to hear the news. Kelsea, Braeden, Bob, and I will miss
him very much. He was such a cute boy. Braeden and Kelsea will always
have fond memories of riding him. I think Braeden will especially
remember his last bareback ride on him last week. We love you, Peanut!
Lurene - I was very sad to hear that Peanut has passed!!
I will never forget back in 1995, when my daughter Tricia was cleaning
the stalls in exchange for riding lessons. I went to pick her up and you
were not home at the time. My youngest daughter, Melissa opened the
stall and out ran Peanut!! We were in such a panic, it was pouring rain
and mud was everywhere, all I could think about was that Peanut would
slip or fall and break his leg in all that mud and rain. We were not
horse experts and ran around trying to coax her back to the stall but he
was having so much fun playing “Catch me if you can” and you could see
in his eyes he had no intention of being caught. Finally after about an
hour of the three of us girls running and slipping and coming so close
to a coronary arrest, Peanut very casually walked right back into his
stall (giving us that look of complete satisfaction). When we spoke to
you afterward, you advised next time that happened to just shake his
bucket with a few oats in it and he would return immediately. Awe, the
lessons of life!!
The Schwenks - We will miss peanut!! Scarlet has some
wonderful memories riding Peanut.
Anita - So sorry to hear about Peanut. He was such a
great pony and I know he will be dearly missed.
Ashley - I am so sad to hear about Peanut!!! Cadence was
just asking me to take lessons on him again. He was such a good boy;
what a great horse. I am so sorry.
Shannon - I remember one time I was brushing Peanut and
the the sprinklers turned on and I ran out of the way (not wanting to
get wet) and peanut turned his shaggy head towards me and gave me this
look that said, "Why are you going, please come back." Although I was
always too big to ride him I have had a ton of memories trying to get
all his loose hair to come off him, and of him pulling the lead rope out
of my hand to run for grass three feet away.
The Pedersen's - We are so sad to hear of little Peanut's
passing.
Caryn & Ellen - Ellen and I are both really sad to hear
about Peanut. He was a great character, and Ellen will always remember
him as the first pony she learned to ride on. You will miss him so much,
as I’m sure the other horses will too.
