Horsie Saturday visits the present and the past.

Maddie and Pete are going okay these days.



We return now to the old farm with retiree Charlie Brown.
On his first day at the farm Charlie took off running checking out his new pasture.


Charlie was so laid back he let Laurie sit on his back.

His family loved him.






Mind Meld with Charlie's Dad

Charlie Brown was a wonderful fellow to have around.

It always touches my heart to see humans so in love with their animals.

Where is Charlie Brown now?

His Mom, pictured here, made the decision and his remains remained on the farm.

His gentle nature brought love and happiness to all who knew him….. Is there a Rainbow Bridge for horses, too?

5. Thank You Polly. Charlie was One of a Kind. Sweet. Intelligent. You're right -- to look into his eyes was a revelation.

This second photo, paired with the last, because of his long mane show why Charlie's owner nicknamed him "Fabio."
