Last week, we very sadly lost Winston, grandad of the herd and co-founder of Equilore.

His warmth, wisdom and calm will be so deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of working and playing with him.

Born in 1992, being an Irish Cross dark bay floofball in winter with a much lighter and dappled in summer coat, he had a long life doing some low level jumping, cross country and hacking. He was confident and brave and loved going in the lorry/ trailer to go onto an adventure.

In the herd he kept himself to himself but loved 1:1 fuss (with horse and human). He brought many people a sense of safety and calm just by being him. He lived a life worth celebrating, so please think of your bestest memories of him and treasure these.

At the age of 32 we said goodbye to him but he will forever live on at Equilore and in all the hearts he touched.

Rest in peace Winnie ❤️

REMEMBER ME FOR ALL THAT I AM
-written by a guest-
Speak my name as you have always done
Remember the good times, the laughter and the fun
Share the amazing memories we’ve made
Do not let them wither or fade
I am the solid foundation of Equilore, a source of pride
I am the reflection of truth and trust
I am the courage, as clients look deep inside
I am the strength, standing by
I am the guide, that lights the way
I am the reassurance, have no fear
I am the lesson, it’s safe to release that tear
I am the comfort when things are not okay
I am the wisdom and knowledge of all that now resides
I am the loyalty & unconditional love left behind
I am in the smells of Roses in Spring
I am in the warmth of the Summer Sun
I am in the rustle of the Crisp Autumn Leaves
I am in the tracks on a Snowy Winters day

Let your sadness be for a little while, but do not let it dim your smile, I live on in your heart , for my spirit remains forever present in all the things that will last, even though we’ve had to part.
💙
