In Memory of Blue

Deceased December 26, 2020

Heaven’s Dancer came to PETS IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. He was a dark bay gelding. He had been a racehorse.

We called him Blue Dancer. He did not like walking through water, nor did he want to load onto a horse trailer. But through training and trust, our “Blue” learned. Blue also taught us how to be better caregivers when he had to have a nail removed from his right hind foot. PETS volunteers treated Blue for 2 months. During this time, Blue gained a best bud/ stall mate, that was Dancer. Blue was ridden by students in advanced classes. Watching Blue move was to observe in awe his beautiful walk, his graceful trot and rhythmic canter.

“When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk. He trots the air, the earth sings when he touches it.” ….. William Shakespeare

Get Ready, Get Set, PAUSE

Friends and Family-that’s where PETS is this year, We Are PAUSED!

The Executive Board took a hard look at our program since Covid came and left

We have a limited number of Board Members, Horses and Volunteers.

We do have many perspective riders/participants.

With the support of MNCPPC, we are using 2024 to regroup and revitalize the program.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR RENEWAL IS ON! -STAY TUNED AS WE PUSH TOWARDS THE WINNERS LINE IN TIME FOR THE 2025 START-UP. YOU are needed in the Effort!
