LOVING MEMORY OF ZOE (Grey Dawn)
1985 - December 5, 2008
Circle of Hope has lost
a dear equine friend. It is with great sadness that we announce the death of
our wonderful therapy horse Zoe. Zoe was our first therapy horse and has been
the backbone of our program for almost 10 years. She was honored by being selected
NARHA Region 2 Horse of the Year in 2003. She served our participants with a
gentleness and understanding that was treasured by all. Although she was ‘our
big girl’, she had the unique ability to know just what her riders needed,
young or old, big or small. She had great patience and understanding. She helped
so many learn to ride and taught others to just enjoy her smooth and easy movement.
Zoe took care of her riders calmly and joyfully. She has been an invaluable
partner. Zoe was 23 years old. Zoe will be greatly missed and mourned by the
instructors, riders and families of Circle of Hope. We will be forever grateful
that she was a part of our lives.

LOVING MEMORY OF
SAM (SAM I AM)
1985 - MAY 16, 2008

Circle of Hope has lost a dear equine friend. It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our wonderful therapy horse Sam. Sam had been an integral part of our program for many years, serving our participants with a gentleness and understanding that was treasured by all. She had the uncanny ability to know when her riders needed a little more patience and understanding. She helped calm the fears of the fearful, balance the unbalanced, and accepted us just the way we were. She allowed us to dress her up for the holidays, draw on her with chalk, and give her sloppy chocolate kisses. She has been an invaluable partner. Sam took care of the riders calmly and almost joyously. Thank you for your service to our program. We believe that Sam was 23 years old. Sam will be greatly missed and mourned by the instructors, riders and families of Circle of Hope. We will miss you!!
