Sadly for us, Austral was peacefully euthanised at Shiloh yesterday morning. Austral was owned by Jill's family for over 20 years, so his passing was very, very sad for us. It was something that we knew was coming, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. He was an awesome horse, it was a true privilage having him in our lives. Please take a moment to read his story here in Greener Pastures.
But, there is some good news from today. Stealth, one of the new Fallon horses, has already found his new home. He has been adopted by someone who has been waiting for months for just the right horse to come into the rescue. As always, if there is a good home out there, we adopt the horse out. No horse needs to sit in a rescue if there is someone out there who will love and care for it. Stealth is a healthy, sound, and beautiful horse, he deserves the full attention from his new family.
In fact, we have quite a few horses who will be moving on. Spirit is leaving for his AZ home this weekend, Cooper goes on Monday, Aviator has someone interested in adopting him in New Hampshire, and Moses and Godspeed are off together to their foster home by next week...

Sorry to hear about Austral; he was a beautiful horse...
What a magnificient horse he was. I'm so sorry for this loss of a dear, old friend. It's never easy to say goodbye, but what a wonderful tribute you paid to him. I know he was very well loved, and he had a wonderful life with you.
Hi there Jill, I'm really sorry to hear about Aussie. He had such a funny personality. I always remember how he used to rub out of his halter and tried to put on his best grouchy face whenever he was curried. He accomplished a lot in his life and I'm sure he knew just how loved he was.
My condolences, Alex.
