Satin
Chestnut
Grade Horse
1975?
Satin was a 15.2 hh grade horse mare who came to the Ranch because
her owners could no longer care for her. She came to the Ranch
underweight and without much muscling, due to aged teeth. On
a regimen of "mushed" senior feed and hay cubes (all
soaked down to a mash), she regained her much of her weight
and strength.
Satin became very close with another "senior citizen"
at our barn, a mare named Granny. Unfortunately, due to complications
from old age and colic, Satin passed away on January 15, 2007.
She is now in a better place on the other side of the Rainbow
Bridge.
In the months since she arrived in our care, to the night she
passed away in a board member's arms, Satin knew the comforts
of a full belly, a clean stall and the love of the people around
her for those last few months. We are glad we could at least
give her those gifts before she passed. She will be
missed.
