Prize
Prize is a twelve year-old chestnut Thoroughbred gelding. Prize raced at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH, until the injury to his left front ankle left him unsound. He is easy to handle and can be turned out only or in a group. He would make an ideal companion horse. Prize is mildly arthritic and remains comfortable turned out in his paddock.

King Charles, the Great and Noble Belgian
Octobert 4th, - The day you came to this your final home.
We know not of your 30 years past.
We Know only your sweet nature - though starved and in ill heatlh
Not a harsh look, nor action
No reason to trust us, yet you do
You put your faith in humans, yet again
When others before us failed you greatly.
"Charlie" - a common name for the regal being that you are!
King Charles - Much better!
With your long mane so full
It is your robe
You are the monarch of "The Boy's Paddock"
They step aside when you enter
You are a new friend for Sal
Your guardian
"Stand quietly near the elderly gent" says Salvador
"He has earned his place in your paddock"
You captured our hearts.
You reminded us that animals forgive and then give again.
The eternal optimists
Winter came - snow, and cold and ice.
You made it through.
Now it is April, Now, spring is here.
We want you to roll in the mud and the new grass.
We want you to see one more summer.
We want sunny days for you to rest here in our pasture.
But, your body is tired, your bones fatigued
Soon you will feel lush pasture and warm breezes for all time
Sleep now and know that you are loved beyond measure.
Sweet, sweet, Charlie
A kiss upon your velvet nose
Rest this day
You have earned your place of peace
For Charlie, the Belgian Horse
With Great love and sorrow on this day
April 2009
