On the direct heels of Tanis’ passing several weeks ago, we received a call regarding a horse in need — another roan mare. It felt, admittedly, a bit like kismet. We know that Autumn’s story starts with an Animal Control seizure. She was one of group of 44 horses…

Nyx and Lyndsay went camping at Long Beach in June with some friends.
Scotty’s Buddies

Rest in Peace, Lancelot
