Testimonials

Dear Jill,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your compassionate care yesterday. It was more than comforting to have you be there for that final transition of our very old pony, Beauty. You were very gentle with him and so considerate of my feelings. I especially appreciate the extra time you took to help his very upset, best buddy of ten years accept the loss. Stormy has been just fine since you helped him see and smell Beauty for himself.

I pray that all goes well with you in this line of work and all you do with horses. You have a gift!

I wanted to take a moment to send you a note to let you know how much I appreciated your help with taking my horse, Ali, to his final resting place. This was a difficult decision and about the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Your kindness to me and your compassionate, caring handling of Ali’s remains is so appreciated.

Kindest Regards,

Jill...

Through the incredible sadness of the death of Candle, I feel such gratitude for your amazing kindnesses.

While I cherish all the memories of my darling boy, I will remember you and the role you played on his last day. You are so loving and respectful, of me and of him. What a beautiful spirit you have! The gift of the mane and tail was such a wonderful gesture in the midst of a grim morning.

Thank you for that treasure.

Hi Jill,

Just wanted to thank you for taking care of my beautiful Isabella last week.

I am so grateful that you were available to take care of things with such class and compassion.

You were the one bright light in a truly horrible dark day.

Thanks again, Sue F.

Dear Folks at Trail's End,

Thank you so much for your understanding and kindness in the mix up around our loss of Lady Bug, our horse.

We were so sad and emotional...Thank you, again for your handling of the situation.

Dear Ken and Jill

We wish to express our sincere gratitude for your loving service on March 25th & for helping us complete my journey with Sierra.

Your love & compassion helped us through a very difficult day.

We are truly blessed by your service.

God bless you both. You both truly make all those you touch, better.

Thank you,

Doug and Lisa S.

I would like to thank Trail's End for the wonderful way they took care of my horse, Sammie, today. I could not ask for anything more from Jill and her staff. Not only were they amazing in dealing with Sammie, they worked with another horse that was having a very hard time with Sammie's death, as well as my dogs, and of course my children/myself.

Thank you so, so much for all you do -Donna B.

Jill,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and kindness in the face of our great loss.

Emma was a rescue horse who came to us emaciated and untrusting.

Through the kindness shown to her by our Patients and staff, Emma became a healthy older girl who gave back love and helped many Trauma Patients who endured abuse and neglect themselves, learn to trust again.

My heart is heavy today and there is sadness here at the ranch, but Emma is no longer in pain.

You, through your kindness and understanding, made it easier to let her go with you.

Blessings to you dear

Sister in Christ!

Thank you for the important job you do in ministering to human sadness and pain.

I can't thank you enough for your compassionate care of my beloved Harmony at the end. My hope of a gentle end came as a result of my amazing vet and you...

You held her head in your hands and put it down gently and for that there are no words to express my deep appreciation.

She was truly a magical, spiritual, healing horse and I miss her so much.

I rescued her 1 year ago and promised to walk her journey with her as long as she was willing. Of course I had hoped it would be longer... I know we helped heal each other.

As a Hospice nurse I understand grace at the end of life and I want you to know how much grace you shared with Harmony and me...

For all Harmony went through, she still had a gentle spirit and enormous capacity to love and trust..

I know death won't break the bond we have but I so miss her smell,sight and sounds everyday...

With many Blessings and great Gratitude,

Eve A./ Harmony Dalight

I just wanted to Thank you. I used to manage “Hillcrest Stables” and I was there when you came to pick up “Jazz”. The Farrier talked the owner into letting him take the horse home to try to fix his feet. I was also there when you came to get “Sugarfoot”, I just wanted to say thank you again. You provide such a wonderful service and we do appreciate you guys. I recommend you to everyone. Thanks Again!

Jill,

Just a note to say thanks for your help last week -

Your kindness, sweet personality, and obvious professionalism were much appreciated.

Your help made a dauting prospect do-able.

It would be nice if our path cossed again, but under different circumstances.

With best regards,

Tom

...you have made the transition from my two memorable friends very copable. Thank you for being you!

Thank you so much for being there in our time of need! I know “Starshine” is grateful also.

Thank you again, Rod and Sandy G. (Phoenix)

I would just like to say how wonderful and amazing this service is. Poor Belle was put down today and Trails End made her passing as peaceful as possible for us here at the Red Mutt Ranch. Belle's owner wanted something to remember her by so the wonderful man...who was here, very tenderly combed and braided her tail before removing it for the owner. To me that was one of the most wonderful and understanding gifts he could have given her.

Thank you guys so much for all you do and the peace you provide to those unfortunate enough to have to say goodbye to their beloved horses.

You are truly angels.

Terra Gerling: Red Mutt Ranch

I just wanted to say thanks for the kindness extended this morning when picking up Black Jack. I also attached a memorial that you can post on your website. I know it will serve to comfort the hundreds of riders and volunteers who so dearly loved little Black Jack. Thank you again for all you do.

Thank you so much for taking care of Pilgrim while we were in Colorado. It is unbelievably hard to lose your best friend but to lose them long distance was awful.

You did not mind my multiple phone calls throughout the day as I worried about the inevitable. I would like to add him to your memorial page if possible, just let me know how to go about doing so.

Thanks again,

Jan Lewis - The Promise Ranch

..you picked up a friend at Friesian Groves. I've seen you pick up horses in the past, and have always admired your gentle and humane handling of the body.

Thank you for what you do...although the old mare wasn't mine, she was VERY sweet...and I'll miss her.

Sandi Wagner
