Read Caesar's Story (In Memoriam)
Caesar was a movie horse but had none of the wealth, fame, or glory that humans enjoy. He was asked to do very strenuous work and was not allowed to make mistakes. Trained with a very heavy hand, he finally shut down, froze, and stopped trying. We were able to bring him to The Gentle Barn instead and it took three years to gain his trust and bring him out of his shell. Once healed, Caesar won the devotion of his peers and became the leader of our herd. He loved babies and would groom their cheeks with his mouth. He did extraordinary work with underprivileged children and was trusted and loved by all of us. Caesar lived to be 34 years of age. Even though it was longer than most horse's life expectancy, for us, it was never long enough.
