The Soul of a Horse Facebook Fan Page Draws More Than 1000 Fans in Two Days
By
Yesterday I spent the entire day uploading 77 photos of Noelle and Malachi to our new Facebook fan page for the The Soul of a Horse. I don’t think I have the patience to do this. And I know I don’t have the emotional stability to do it when it means going back through all the photos of our wonderful boy horse Malachi. But do it I did, buckets of tears and all. The one above struck me hard. It was taken only eleven days after Malachi’s death. We were both so very sad and Noelle had no one else to turn to. It was easily the closest we had ever felt to each other up to that point. Then, a few of days later Kathleen snapped these two with her phone.
We were sitting with Noelle in Malachi’s playpen and she walked over and sniffed his little platform that we had worked on so much, then she just stood there staring at it for the longest time. I was in tears (as I am now), and then she turned and came over to me.
I swear she was asking for answers. And I couldn’t give them to her. Or to me, or Kathleen. I still am asking God why. I suppose someday it will be revealed to us. Someday.
Anyway, if you’ve been following Noelle and Malachi there are some photos not before published in the batch uploaded to the Fan Page yesterday. And some new photos of Cash uploaded the day before. If you’d like to see them, and maybe become a Soul of a Horse fan, here’s the link:

We’re delighted that the page has gotten so much attention during its first two days. We need the food on the table :) I know a lot of folks seem to think we’re fat, sassy, and rolling in money because of Benji but that’s not the case. In order to maintain the integrity of the character we did all the movies except Oh Heavenly Dog independently. Raised the money independently from investors. And that’s where most of the revenues went. To those supporting investors who believed in what we were doing. At this moment in time, we’re trying to avoid burying ourselves in another movie venture. We love the difference we’re making for horses. And a movie carves two full years of virtual 24/7 days out of your life. Which brings me to the next note. The TeleWorkshop. There are only a few weeks until May 1. So please don’t delay too long in signing up. It’s all about the scientific truth as best we know it.

Hope you’ll join us on May 1.

There are no words that can ease the pain of such a tragic and unexpected loss… but someday everything will become clear. May God bless you all!
Many thanks Joana
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts and that nothing will ever fill the hole that’s left behind in your world.
Thank you Cindy.
Some days the joyful memories in our hearts take precedence over the pain; other days, not so much. I hope that soon your joy will be bigger than your pain. I’m so sorry about your loss of Malachi. He was beautiful, Joe.
Joe your pain will never leave you and that is a good thing. It shows just how much you love your animals and how involved you are with them and their lives.
My little Shih Tzu Dale passed away 4 years ago and he remains in my heart everyday. I still look in my other dogs eyes for his eyes.
I talk to him daily and my Bench in my yard sits in front of his grave covered in Hostas and other summer flowers and a little solar light that shines each night.
It took me 3 years before I could even look at his photo, to post on my doggie website.
I don’t know even today why he is not here with me.
But your right, maybe one day we will know why???
I think that Noelle was saying “Thank You Joe” for giving me a home and a safe place to have my foal, you took great care of both of us. I will return that favor one day.
Thanks Marie. She does everyday.
Anyone who cares for animals – really cares – understands
your feelings about Noelle & Malachi. And we never forget
any of them.
I have this feeling that if there really is a rainbow bridge
when I get there – all my “kids” from my whole life will all
be lined up waiting, from my horse right down to my rabbits
and ducks!!!
My son just lost his 16 year old cat. It never gets easier.
But what a great 16 years – she was a real character.
Thinking of you both

Joe…I can only imagine how you feel about losing little Malachi. I love the way you love and take care of your horses and animals around your place. I ran a picture off of Malachi and have him in my Bible. Everytime I see it, I say a pray for you and your family. God be with you…angie
