This has been one of the hardest weeks we’ve had at Taylormade’s New Beginnings.
We had to say goodbye to I’m Burlington N one of the first horses to ever walk through our barn doors when we started this nonprofit dream. He wasn’t just “one of the first” — he was a piece of our beginning, a reminder of why this mission matters, and a gentle soul who touched everyone who met him.
Letting him go was devastating. The stall he once filled feels painfully quiet, and the barn just hasn’t felt the same without him. His loss has weighed heavy on all of us.
In the middle of our heartbreak, we were held up by extraordinary people.
A very special thank you to Saving Grace LLC, and especially Brittany Miller, for the countless hours, the behind-the-scenes work, and the heart she poured into making our benefit possible. Her compassion and dedication came at a time when we needed it more than anyone knew.
Because of people like her — people who show up, lift us up, and believe in our mission — we are able to honor Burlington’s memory by continuing to give other retired Standardbreds the second chance he helped inspire.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us through both the joy and the heartbreak
Run free, Burlington You will always be part of our beginning, and forever part of our hearts.
