This is a comment stated by Lesley A. Loasby who travelled all the way from Alberta to visit her old friend Amstel ...Not only did she come all that way to see him but she also decided to sponsore him. This is was she said;

I was very pleasantly surprised to find my old friend Amstel in your care and looking so well. I looked after Ami in the early 90's when I was his groom. I had to chuckle a little at the blurb when it said they retired him because he was too tired to do lessons anymore, although I know as well as anyone he has more than earned a good retirement, he was never one to expend more than the  necessary amount of energy , and made sure I knew he didn't think it necessary when I tacked him up.

Amstel was always one of my favorites of the horses I looked after in my career as a groom. I'm glad I have been able to see that he's been given the opportunity to have time to just be a horse for his golden years. Thank you for all you do for these loyal friends , too many people think they are a commodity instead of a friend who will stand by you and never judge you.

Thank you so much Lesley for caring and showing Amstel kindness when he needed it most.

Please go to the Canadian Heart link below and view a list of canine and feline friends whom are in need of forever homes. Perhaps you have room in your family to adopt another friend....
