On Sunday, August 15, one of our beloved horses, Daisy, passed away. Daisy was Green Hill’s founding pony and lived a long and remarkable life. Because of her size and temperament, Daisy was often the first horse that smaller children would ride at Green Hill. Throughout her life, she helped literally hundreds of children, giving of herself selflessly day after day. Daisy touched many lives and she will be greatly missed by all.
