Chanel

(1976-2007)

On December 2007 the refuge family lost Chanel, a beautiful opinionated ex-racehorse. She mothered and fussed over all the ponies, especially Jasper, her special friend, a blind young Pinto. Chanel gave Jasper the confidence to play and prance without fear. Watching Jasper mirror Chanel's every move was an exhilarating experience. We all grieve for the loss of Chanel, but none more then Jasper and the herd of ponies.

Mikey

(1976-2003)

   Mikey was retired at the Refuge by loving owner. Words cannot express the loss of this incredibly affectionate pinto. Mikey had a character that was much bigger than the body he inhabited. His unexpected departure has left a gaping wound in our hearts and void in the herd, that no one has yet attempted to fill. He will be terribly missed as herd leader, especially by his buddy,Little Black and all who had the good fortune to know him.

This ex-racehorse did years of show jumping before working at a rehab centre for handicap children.

Jackie

(1973 - 2009)

This beautiful mare was lovingly retired and supported by her caring and responsible owner.  Jackie was a very special girl who had the run of the Refuge.  We've all been crushed by her passing, especially Clyde the donkey.

Charisma

(-2010)

On Saturday March 6th 2010 our little Charisma left us. After a fluke accident she went to Ste-Hyacinthe where she fought her last and most incredible fight.The Vets and staff fell in love with her and had rarely seen such a little fighter who wanted to stay alive and who amused and fascinated them all. Our hearts are broken that she had to leave this way, her life shortened by a stroke of bad luck. She will now be in peace and will no longer suffer. She will be in our hearts forever. 

 Lovingly sponsored by Karin.

Cinderella

The princess that she was had all the boys at the Refuge madly in love with her.

She will be greatly missed by all of us including Claire her proud sponsor.

Magic

(1993 - 2010)

Magic experienced extreme cruelty at the hands of people before being rescued.  With the help of local authorities, Magic was seized and placed in the permanent care of the Refuge. He was our gorgeous shy boy which we worked hard at earning his trust. 

 He will forever be in our hearts, we love you Magie!
