Tank
1970 - 2000
"A horse with a sense of adventure. Given a choice, he would always pick the new, unexplored trail. He was an escape artist who kept us busy upgrading gate and door hardware. He loved to visit the neighbors in the middle of the night and was accused of heavy breathing outside of bedroom windows. Alternatively, he would raid the garden, taking big bites out of ripe cantaloupes and stealing tomatoes."

Cliffy
1988-
Cliffy was a Thoroughbred racehorse who spent a year at Last Chance Farm recovering from a bone chip in his knee. Cliffy had the time of his life during the very snowy winter of 1993-'94. Upon arrival from the track, Cliffy could not get enough of the snow. He took turns rolling in it, and then rearing straight up. Running was out of the question as most of the pasture was under 2 to 3 feet of snow!

Pat
Former Philadephia City Carriage Horse rescued by
his driver, he arrived at Last Chance Farm suffering
from severe COPD brought on by stabling
in city carriage horse stables. Pat was also emaciated
from the 2st so called "retirement" farm who promised
to care for him but only took his owner's hard
earned money.
Pat regained the lost weight and
with lots of fresh air his COPD improved. Pat had a
couple of good years thanks to the driver who loved
him and no thanks to the carriage company who worked
the life out of him.
