We lost our sweet boy very unexpectedly July 18,2020. Finnick's void was felt very deep by both Benjamin and I. He and Benjamin shared a very deep bond. He loved life with ASAR, loved grazing, loved bathing in the sun and even an occasional belly rub. He is missed dearly, rest easy sweet boy! We love you, still.
Jesse was our senior horse and his exact age was unknown but our vets put him well into his 20's. He coliced in late 2019 and at that point we knew our time with him was borrowed. On January 1, 2020 we said goodbye to this sweet soul! And although Jesse wasn't with us that long I knew him for many years and loved him dearly
Although Bentley was not a "rescue" and not part of ASAR per say, he was part of the family. Our daughter's horse for many years, he was loved deeply by her. I woke up February 29, 2020 to find Bentley had passed and was surrounded by Paddington, Avery, and Ellie Mae. Bentley was healthy and we are not sure what caused his death although we suspect he may have had a heart attack. Our daughter felt his death just as fiercely as she loved him. He is missed dearly, not just by us, but many of our visitors as well.
My beautiful Avery Elizabeth was that one horse that brought me back to life! The one who made me love riding again! In late 2008 I had a bad horse accident breaking both my back and right arm. The mental and physical damage was extensive and the recovery even more so. I was scared to even be near a horse after that and I'd been on and around horses since I was 3 years old. I met Avery in February 2010 after she was left at a training facility. Not knowing much about her other than she may have been a Polo pony at some point and with the help of a dear friend she made her way to me.....and we never looked back. She was always so trusting of me and took care of me those first couple of years. It was mostly just she and I out riding, it was our time to just be together and I miss her and those days dearly!
Avery passed away from colic on May 31, 2020 at the age of 22. I didn't have her near long enough and her void is felt around our place.

Our sweet Harvey passed on December 20,2020. Harvey was the "leader of the pack" if you will, and kept watch over his brothers, often keeping himself off to the side and away from the others. Alpacas are funny creatures they aren't cuddly, they aren't ones to enjoy the company of people per say but they are always interested in what you're doing. They come over to where you are to investigate, they're very docile animals, harmless, sweet, and just adorable! His passing was unexpected and very tragic. Its left his brothers trying to figure out who is to take over as the the pack leader.
RIP sweet boy, give Finnick and the others a kiss for us!

I hate that I'm even writing this....its taken sometime. We lost my sweet Zeus on 10/21/21. Zeus had only been with us since Jan of 2021 but he made a huge dent in my heart. I miss him terribly, his void is felt deep by all who loved him.
Till we kiss again, my sweet boy!
