In memory of Butterscotch
Skewbald Pinto Pony
Our hearts were very heavy earlier this week when we had to put down Butterscotch, our favorite and most loved pony ever. Over his 30 years of life “Butters” gave literally thousands of rides to kids (and sometimes their parents) and never complained. Many of these rides were given in back yards with bouncy houses, horseshoe pits, balloons, and screaming children running around. Butterscotch never flinched. He loved people (but hated dogsJ) As we realized Butterscotch wouldn’t live forever, we have recently tried numerous times to find a pony to replace him without luck. We are still trying. I think we have come to know that Butterscotch just can’t be replaced.
Butterscotch, we miss you already but we know you are in horse heaven giving another ride, or chasing a dog with your ears pinned!
