Yellow Horse would like to remember our beloved Billy. In his honor we have created the Billy Legacy Memorial & Retirement Fund. Please see our Donate Page to learn more.
Billy was our very first therapeutic mini horse. He was an amazing confidence builder. He helped to start so many of our participants due to his wonderful personality, patience and sweetness. Many of our participants loved just hanging out with Billy, braiding his mane and tail, turning him into a unicorn, leading him through obstacles and just showering him with hugs and kisses. He will be greatly missed as he was such a large part of Yellow Horse, our YH Agility Team and as a best friend to so many. Rest in peace our wonderful little guy. |
