For those that might follow Old Friends, a thoroughbred racing retirement farm, you may have learned that Clever Allemont was euthanized on Memorial Day due to colic. Clever Allemont was a racehorse that was rescued at the ripe age of 26 from a kill pen. The past few years he's enjoyed retirement at Old Friends.
I have to share one quote from the blog post because it is SO fitting. Not just for famous and not so famous thoroughbreds that raced but for all horses....
As Dr. Val Nicholson so beautifully put it, “Clever couldn’t hear, but he could listen. He and the other horses remind us that it’s the minutes and moments that count. The minutes and moments determine eternity.”
So very well said. The horses at the Sanctuary do remind us to take time out of our busy day to enjoy those few brief moments to revel in the beauty of the day. Those brief moments are what count.
