Nugget left for East Texas on Thursday, June 27, 2013 to be with Poco, Legs and Cheyenne in a big green pasture on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land
Of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who are maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.

There is only one thing missing;
They are not with their special person who loves them on earth.
So, each day they run and play until the day comes
When one suddenly stops playing and looks up!
The nose twitches! The ears are up!  The eyes are staring!
And this one suddenly runs from the group!

You have been seen,
And when you and your special friend meet,
You take him or her in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again, and again,
And you look once more
Into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
Never again to be separated.

Dear Saddle Light Center;

On behalf of Dr. Robert Ball and Dr. Kelsey Sapp of Bracken Equine Clinic, the Texas Equine Veterinary Association (TEVA) Equitarian Project is pleased to present you with the attached certificate in memory of Nugget. Dr. Ball has generously made a donation to the TEVA Equitarian Project in Nugget’s memory. The TEVA Equitarian Project provides outreach to the working equids of the world. Bi-annually, we use these funds to help support a group of Veterinarian’s, Industry Representatives and Students as they travel to countries around the world to provide routine care such as vaccinations, farrier services and dental services to equids that otherwise would not receive such basic treatments. You may learn more about our Equitarian Project and follow the trips at our website: www.teva-online.org.

Thank you,
