Sunshine Horse at Lorenzo

I went to the Lorenzo Driving Competition to see a horse that had been adopted from Sunshine Horses Inc. Sunshine Horses, Inc is a non-profit adoption agency just north of Syracuse which specializes in retraining and rehoming retired Standardbred Race Horses. They will work with other breeds as well. Cindae Wilson adopted Lighting Prince from the rescue. Lightning Prince has been in training and was entered into several Novice Whip Horse Competitions as well as The Pleasure Drive. While I was at Lorenzo, I discovered that another Sunshine Horse adoptee was also entered into the Competition. Photogenic DeVie was adopted by Susan Smith from the rescue. I was unable to capture a picture of Photogenic as he withdrew from the event I was attending. I was happy to see that 2 horses had found their homes.

If you are interested in adopting from Sunshine Horses, Inc. Please visit sunshinehorses.org or email sunshinehorsesinc@gmail.com.

Lessons from a Senior Dog

Nancy Kieffer

Working as a pet photographer as well as volunteering in a rescue, I have been blessed with getting to know a number of senior dogs. While I lost my Midnight at a young age, I was very fortunate to have Shamus with me for many years. Shamus was my clown, but boy did he know how to live! His wisdom grew as the years pressed on. I learned that each day spent with my senior dog was a lesson on the importance of living in the present, cherishing our bond and embracing our everlasting friendship.
