Sandy

Miniature Horse

LGR’S Fire Passion, a.k.a. Sandy, was a registered Miniature Horse who came to Camelot on May 30, 2000. She was unaware of her small stature; Sandy saw herself filling the shoes of the mightiest of equine staff. During the week, Sandy could be seen pulling her cart around the property, or taking students and staff out into the neighborhood. Stunning in color—deep chestnut, with a long and flowing red mane and tail—she was always catching everyone’s eye and loved living life in the spotlight.

Sandy was humanely euthanized on September 24, 2006, after an acute illness. We miss her bright spirit.

Mack

Quarter Horse

Mack began his new life as a therapy mount on January 23, 2000. This handsome Quarter Horse gave us his heart and soul for 6 wonderful years. He was one of our larger mounts, which made him perfect for our adult students. It was his gentle and sweet disposition, however, that won the hearts of our youngest students in the barn! When he was not teaching riders how to slay dragons, his favorite pastime was playing with his best friend, Cliffy.

We said goodbye to Mack on July 24, 2006. He was humanely euthanized following complications from colic. Mary’s hand-written note in her vet log says, "Good night, Sweet Knight."

When I bestride him, I soar; I am a hawk; he trots the air. The earth sings when he touches it. The basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
