The Spirit Of Your Horse Lives On...
Welcome to
Hoofbeats in
Heaven, a 1000 plus page 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 increasingly recognizes that a dog or cat is a
cherished member of the family, a horse is still largely considered to be nothing
more then a head of 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 Hoofbeats In Heaven (HIH) understand and respect the unique and deep bonds we form with
our equine companions. You can't love and bond
with a horse and not know what spiritual beings they are. We know that painful void left from their physical
absence. And so our goal is to help you come
to terms with your loss, begin to embrace your precious memories
and ultimately, to find peace in fully knowing that your horse
lives on as long as you carry him in your heart.
No matter what
our individual idea of heaven may be, we know that our horse's spirit never
dies. We hope that HIH will 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.

Hoofbeats In Heaven
by Kim McElroy
Somewhere...somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some Paradise where horses go.
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

Recipient
THE HUMANE ANIMAL WELFARE AWARD
|
"Presented by the Membership of the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association
to
Cindy Garrett in recognition of her advancement of animal welfare through extraordinary
service."
While this is a personal honor, what means the most to me is the recognition by the veterinary profession of the importance of horse loss support. Thank you to the WSVMA for the acknowledgement of the strength of the horse/human bond and the ensuing grief we all must work through when our equine companions go on ahead of us. |
Recommends that grieving horse owners visit Hoofbeats in
Heaven to make use of our support.

THE WANDERING'S HORSE COUNTRY AWARD |
"Once in a great while, a person comes along with a truly unique and worthy idea, an idea that is so simple that we all wonder why we didn't think of it first. "Hoofbeats In Heaven" is one of those ideas, Cindy is one of those people.
Hoofbeats
In Heaven is a beacon in the night for those of us who have lost one of our
most beloved companions, our horse. We all share our loss, we share our loves,
and we all understand that in the sharing we again join with God's most noble
of creations. This website and the accompanying support group are a MUST SEE for
anyone who has ever had a horse."

Hoofbeats In Heaven is dedicated to my beloved Dad, who passed away in 2005. He gave me the great gift of loving and knowing the Horse.
And to my dear Mom, who has now joined my Dad. She lovingly surrendered to the fact that more of my childhood would be spent with our horses then in dresses.
I miss you both more then words can express.
