Welcome to Hoofbeats in Heaven,
a gateway to horse loss resources created to provide the information, solace
and support you may be seeking. Here you will find you are not alone in your
grief over the loss of your horse.
While society is coming to increasingly accept that a dog
or cat is a member of the family, a horse is still largely considered
nothing more then livestock. Here we know that we love our horses as
much as any family member and we mourn their death just as deeply. Visitors
to this site understand and respect the unique and deep bonds that we
form with our equine companions. We know that painful void left from
their physical absence. And so our ultimate goal is to help you embrace
the precious memories and to find peace in knowing that your horse
lives on as long as you carry him in your heart.
You can't
love and bond with a horse and not know what spiritual beings they are. No
matter what our individual idea of heaven may be, we know that our
horse's spirit never dies. We hope that this site will in some small way
help you cope with the pain of losing your horse so that you can feel his
spirit live within you once again. You can begin now just by listening to
your heart - there it is - that sound that keeps your horse close and can
bring peace to your
spirit...
...that glorious sound of hoofbeats in heaven.
