A Farewell to Eddy

by Jan Drake, Equestrian Resource Manager

We recently found out that one of our retired therapy horses was humanely put down. Eddy, a 24-year-old buckskin quarter horse was leased to us by Mary Lou Hamil. Eddy provided three years of therapy lessons and put many smiles on the faces of our participants. She will be greatly missed by the National Ability Center. Eddy got to the point that her quality of life was quickly deteriorating, and a tough decision was made by her family. We want to thank Mary Lou for her generosity in leasing Eddy to us for those years.
