To a truly magnificent Stallion

BRINKS JOSE' MAY

Brinks, a registered Quarter Horse from the King Ranch in Texas, passed away from a heart attack at the age of 28. He was a gentle stallion with a huge personality to match his size.

Brinks had been in the family for a number of years and although he was not abused or neglected, we felt that he deserved a tribute just for being a terrific horse!


Some of these horses passed away because of direct neglect or abuse by their owners.Sometimes, just because the care given them, was too late.

Education is necessary to keep this type of behavior from happening. The ownership of horses is a huge responsibility and should not be taken lightly. Horses are Gods majestic beings and should be treated with admiration and respect as you would a member of your family. They require food, shelter and a knowledgeable hand on the ownership of another living thing.

These owners felt that owning a horse was no different than owning an old truck or an old pair of worn out shoes that wasn't worth the effort to take care of. Horse are NOT a "thing" or a piece of property, they are a living beings.

Help us educate the community by supporting our education program so this type of behavior ceases to exist.

~~~NOT AN ANGEL~~~~~
 
The young filly and the older mare lay on shaded sweet grass
watching the reunions.
 
Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes a whole family
would approach the Rainbow Bridge, be greeted by their loving pets
 and cross the bridge together.
 
The young filly playfully nipped at the mare. "Look! Something
wonderful is happening!"
 
The older horse stood up and whinnied, "Quickly.....Get over to the path."
“But that's not my owner," whined the filly, but he did as he was told.
 
Thousands of pets surged forward as a figure in white walked on
the path toward the bridge.
 
After the glowing figure passed each animal,
that animal bowed its head in love and respect.
The figure finally approached the bridge, and was met by a
menagerie of joyous animals.
 Together, they all walked over the bridge and disappeared.
 
The young filly was still in awe.  "Was that an angel?" she whispered.
 
"No.", the older horse replied.  "That was more than an angel.
That was a person who worked rescue."
