On the 29th Day, there was Sapphire!
Sapphire came to us in August 2010 after family health issues, and we were told she was 24. Sapph was one of our residents who's job was to help new volunteers learn about horses. She loved being groomed and welcomed the oodles of attention that came her way. We shared her story earlier this year. It's a special one we want to share again.
All of our volunteers and visitors that met Sapphy have many happy memories, too. She helped so many people overcome their fear of horses, and she helped so many people turn their blue days to new days once again.
She had in presence in our herd, too, and we called her Ms. Sassy Pants. There was no question what her "flat as a pancake" ears meant, and when Sapphire walked, horses listened, even Cowboy learned. Sapphy was a hoot!
Sapph was known around AAE for her famous "Belly Dance". Her favorite past time was standing over a trough, one just tall enough to tickle her belly. She'd stand this way forever! The red one was her favorite. She made us laugh when we would watch her tip her trough over, then side pass over the top.
She was a silly girl, too. She would humor us with our silly human antics, such as party hats and birthday cakes. She used to love carrots 'til we tried to disguise her lil' pills in them. She didn't touched one after that. So sassy!
This ol' gal gave her all, and she was the most special, most dependable, and most trustworthy girl 'til the end. In August, we had to help our ol' girl, Sapphire, across the rainbow bridge. As best we know she was 31 years old. She stumbled over her toe walking over a rock and fell. It was a bit tough getting up, and though she tried to be most stoic, she injured her hip in the fall.
AAE will never be the same without her. It helps to know she's running pain free through green pastures once again! She is missed by so many! We love you Ms Sassy Pants!
