Update on Stuart,
Meadow and Confetti
I would like
to update everyone on Stuart, a former Navy Korean War Veteran, and very brave
soul who loves, adores and respects his four legged friends.
Stuart is
presently at home in hospice care. Just
recently, he came to terms with releasing his two beloved horses, Meadow and
Confetti, over to North Shore Horse Rescue in Baiting Hollow, New York. It was particularly bittersweet. Stuart’s health has been rapidly declining over
the past few months, and he can no longer provide for his pets. NSHR will be temporarily providing feed,
board, pasture, and an abundance of love and care for both horses until they are
permanently placed in their forever home.
Initially, the key goal was to have the horses live out their lives up
north with Sue, a true angel of a woman, and her husband Kevin who graciously offered
to open their home and hearts to Stuart’s pets.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, alternative plans must now be made to
provide a closer home for Meadow and Confetti. This on-going experience has
truly been a mission of love, dedication and perseverance for all who have
stepped forward to support Stuart and his horses during this crucial time in
his life.
On a
personal note, I strongly believe that Stuart, Sue, and myself were meant to
make this initial connection. The feeling
of absolute necessity to bring the needs of Stuart and his horses to completion
has been powerful. We will honor Stuarts
wishes in order for him to be reassured that his babies will be loved,
respected, and cherished until they one-day meet again.
The
challenge still remains to place both horses together in a loving, caring,
attentive family. In addition, fundraising
efforts are greatly needed for supplementary mounting fees. They are in need of feed expenses, medical
attention, dental work, and farrier needs.

family.
