Retired horse Comet, out in his pasture.

Comet was one of our boarders. This picture is from May of 2017. He had to be put to sleep last year, but he was a great guy.

Nope. Comet was a pasture horse whose owner loved him very much. Upon contracting with us to board him she said he had carried her on his back for years so he deserved a nice, quiet retirement.
