In loving memory of Freeman...

Freeman, a 26 year old beautiful and gentle Appaloosa gelding, came into PHH rescue a year ago, retired from Warm Beach Christian Camp. Diagnosed with ringbone and arthritis, he had difficulty moving and exercising. He was taken into a loving foster home for a time and was popular with everyone that encountered his gentle spirit. We welcomed him back to the barn with open arms a little over a month ago and spent much time trying to make him as comfortable as possible with corrective shoes, etc. In the end, Freeman just could not be comfortable the way a horse needs and deserves to be. Gretchen had to make the difficult decision. He passed on to the Rainbow Bridge in peace on Thursday evening, surrounded by those that loved him and worked so hard on his behalf. I will miss his presence at the barn terribly. I know he is free of pain now, galloping happily in meadows of green that never end and playfully joining the others that have passed on before him. We love you so much, Freeman.
