Rusty was a kind friend to both horses and humans alike. He is greatly missed.

Since the day I met Rusty he consistently showed his caring nature towards all my horses. At times I think he knew them more then I did but in any case I could ALWAYS depend on him to help us when one of our horses needed that “special attention” that I was unable to give at the time. I really miss his “saunter” through the barn but mostly miss his friendship.
