It is bittersweet that Miss Bee Bars drew her last breaths on the new 20 acre sanctuary we have created for senior horses on June 27, 2025.  We do not flip/sell/trade horses. Those who enter our sanctuary do so for the rest of their lives. Bee Bars lived to a ripe old age of 42 years young and had just had a vet check and was deemed in good health.  It was just her time to go and we were there with her at the end hoping to ease her way onto greener pastures.  She died before the vet could arrive as we sat with her waiting for him. Death is a sacred experience and we were grateful to be there with her as hard as it was on us - she wasnt alone. Hill Haven is a true sanctuary for these abused negleced and "throw away" horses - many of whom get to live out long happy lives as pasture pets working with grief groups and troubled teens.  Miss Bee Bars was everyones favorite sweet old lady we saved from the meat truck in 2008.  In return for safe haven these 18 years she has helped countless humans through hard times in our programs. As the barn favorite due to her sweet nature everyone who ever met her felt our loss as she moves on to greener pastures and gets treats from the robes of the Good Shephard Himself. She will always be rememembered, loved and missed. ♥
