Our dear friend Jessie said goodbye tonight to her sweet boy Volly. We all loved Volly; it was impossible not to fall in love with him.
For many days we will mourn, hurt and miss him along with his owner, Jessie.

I am blessed to have known Volly… and days like today I’m overwhelmed by our farm family who cares enough to be there when it’s not easy. Kelsey, Debbie… I love you and the size of your hearts.

Gallop free sweet Volly.

Great words of advice:

One of my all time favorite pics, "The Savage" and the story behind it. Horse on the left was in the lead, horse on the right was closing in the gap and starting to pass. Instead of the horse on the left putting forth more effort into gaining and keeping the lead, he reaches over and bites the horse on the right. Meanwhile the horse on the right has his ears laid back and his eye on the prize. Moral of the story... Never entertain foolishness. Have a purpose in life, stay focused and never let others bring you down. Winners are not people who never fail, but rather people who never quit. There‘s an old saying: a champion is someone who is willing to be uncomfortable & rock bottom has built more champions than privilege has. It's about hard work and the drive to do it. Determination to keep pushing forward when others would love to see you fail. Winning isn't the score on the board, it's seeing something through to the end and congratulating your opponent. If you win through bad sportsmanship there is no real victory.

Favorite quote: "It’s not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."- Rocky Balboa

FYI: The horse on the right won.
