Bird, Theonlyword 🌈🦄

We are heartbroken to share the passing of one of our long time lesson horses and residents Bird. Bird was staple at Northwestern, a favorite to all with her sweet personality and easy demeanor. A challenging ride when she was in her younger days and the go to for confidence building as she got older. Bird and her owner Lauren are longtime members of our Northwestern community and lived many lives together from hunters to jumpers to western, Bird had indeed seen it all.
We cannot begin to express our gratitude to Lauren for sharing this wonderful horse with us for close to 20 years on and off with her enjoying a nice break from the lesson horse life before returning when she wanted to start teaching a new generation in 2017. Bird was full of love and spread that to all, wether it be a lesson kid getting ready for their first ride or someone merely just walking through the park, Bird received endless compliments from strangers for her beautiful stature and her perfect personality, ears always forward waiting patiently for a treat and a nuzzle when she knew a rider needed one. Thank you Lauren for sharing this beautiful horse with all of us at Northwestern and thank you Bird for the countless lessons you taught so many. If you have any photos or memories of sweet Bird please feel free to share them below ♥️
