In
Memory of Spencer Hazeldine
1991-2005
For any of you who have ever come out to Hunter
Hill stables you would have surely met our big
brown barn dog Spencer. Spencer passed away
August 8th 2005. Although he had had
some problems in the last year he was still my
constant companion everywhere I went on the farm.
As many of you know he almost died as a three
day old puppy and was brought back to life by
Doctor Herbers of Sherwood Park. He was unable
to go back with his mom so from that day on I
kept him in a pouch on my coveralls and tube fed
him until he was old enough to eat on his own.
As the vet had felt he had heart problems as well
and wouldn't live to see his first birthday we
opted to keep him.
Through the years he has been my constant companion
and has helped me in many ways . Everything from
turning an entire herd of horses that would have
run me down to keeping all horses from touching
me when they shouldn't be. He went everywhere
with me and when I rode a new or young horse for
the first few times he rode around and around
the arena with me I would assume to make sure
I would be safe. I am pretty sure he would have
caught me if I had fallen. He sat in the arena
through -30 on blankets I laid out for him as
well as +30 on the cool cement waiting for me.
I never had to look for him since if I was out
of the house he was right beside me. Having never
been without him by my side when in my barn it
is unbelievably lonely . Even the cats miss him
stealing their food.
Wherever
you are Spencer I miss you and will never
forget all you have done for me for 14 wonderful
years.
All my heart and Love .
Your Mom , Colleen |
We
at Hunter hill are sad to announce that Winston/Tuff
has passed away. We are very sorry for Barb
Hazle who only had a short time with this wonderful
colt . He will be sadly missed by all of us
but never forgotten. It is a shame that such
a young talented horse will never reach his
full potential but we are glad we had him for
the short time we did and were able to see what
he could have been.
Jack,
Colleen, Madison, and Alexia would like to say
that all of us at Hunter Hill stables will
sadly miss this wonderful big mare. She gave us
five beautiful babies one of which we have chosen
to keep to remember her by. She was Madison's
first top quality show horse and came home with
superiors and many ROMs in many events. Safely
carrying our small child in the ring. When retired
she went on to teach many people to ride at our
stable while in between giving us lovely babies,
and her patients and kindness will be remembered
by all those who had the chance to ride her. She
had to be humanly put down due to a heart problem
and her loss has left a large whole
in our hearts and will for some time. We miss
you Mikki and will for some time but we will be
able to keep your memory alive as we watch your
daughter Song grow with your same kindness and
soft way of going. Love from all of us.
