Angels brought you here as a gift in the night. You brought such excitement, you were a fresh breath of new life. You touched all of our hearts with your fragile and innocent presence. You brought us all back in touch with our connection with horses and reminded us why we have such a deep compassion for them. Just as quickly as you came you were gone. One child asked what God will do with such a young horse. Maybe God will use him to teach all the children in heaven about baby horses or maybe there is a lonely foal in heaven that needs a friend to play with. We are all grateful to have been blessed by Henry’s life here at Grace Farms. We will never forget those long legs that worked so hard to keep him standing and the soft little whinnies of joy.
It is so difficult to lose a young foal. Specially one like Henry that had so much beauty and heart, and the sweetest face I have ever seen on a newborn. I will never forget the look he gave me when I called his name or talked to him. It was as if he said, "I trust you and you will always be my special friend." Everyone who got a chance to be with Henry knew that he was very special. We will miss him and hope to meet him again in heaven. I love the idea of God needing Henry to teach children about baby horses. It soothes my heart. Thanks You

I'm so sorry about your loss. That must be heart wrenching. There's no rhyme or reason to things like this.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't even meet him personally or know anything about him and yet I feel like I've lost a close friend. Please give Fable a hug and a carrot for me!

I sure there is a soft handed cowboy in heaven just waiting on this prefect little foal to arrive and settle in. Beautiful lish fields to play in and teach children about baby horses. My sympathy goes out to you and Fable. Your hearts must be heavy. God Bless both of you. God speed in your recovery.
