❤️ Sometimes, healing means finding a new friend. 🐴 It’s been 2 weeks and 2 days since Tucker crossed the rainbow bridge, and I could see that Lightning just wasn’t himself. I know animals grieve, too, and it was hard watching him without his best friend. He was still eating and drinking, but he just didn’t seem happy with the goats (and definitely tried killing Jigsaw 😂). Lightning spent almost his whole life with Tucker, and at 18, I wanted him to have a friend to share his days with again. Tucker had Lightning by his side for so many years, and finding Lightning that same kind of companionship felt like the least I could do for him. ❤️
We’ve been keeping a little secret… 🤫
🐴 Meet Freddie! 🐴
Freddie is a 10-year-old Warmblood who loves being brushed, spending time with humans, and apparently getting as dirty as possible! 😂 He and Lightning have been enjoying each other’s company while Freddie and I slowly build trust.
He’s a very smart boy who sometimes just needs to remember to breathe and use that brain! 😂 I have a feeling we’ll have lots of fun together next summer. Tucker will never be replaced, and that’s not what this is about. His place in our hearts will always be his. But sometimes, helping the ones left behind means opening your heart to a new friendship. Welcome to the family, Freddie.
Here’s to new beginnings, muddy horses, and making memories. 🌈❤️
❤️
