NOODLE'S Scrapbook
Noodle is our 22 year old Tennessee Walking horse who has carried many visitors on tours of the trails at York Hills. He always likes a good trail ride. Thanks for the adventures Noodle!
The morning of July 5, 2008 I found Noodle standing in pasture with a broken leg. Sadly, we had to put him down. Noodle was loved by many and will be greatly missed. |
