A Gentle Goodbye to Scotty 🌈

Not all updates are glow-ups, and that’s okay. HSES recently said farewell to Scotty, their wise 30-year-old Standardbred. Winter was hitting hard, and the team—guided by Ballarat Equine Clinic—decided it was kinder to let him go before the cold got cruel. Scotty spent his final days rugged, loved, and munching on as many carrots as he pleased, thanks to the sanctuary crew and everyone who chips in. Stories like this remind us why consistent support matters: it keeps old souls comfortable right to the end. If you can’t donate, a simple share helps more people see Scotty’s story and back the next horse who needs a soft landing.
