I am deeply saddened to hear of your unexpected loss. Although I did not know Walter well his warm and gentle demeanour impacted the people around him as well as the horses he came into contact with. He had trailered my horse on several occasions and I was always impressed by his patience. It didn’t matter to him how long it took my horse to get on his trailer, as long as my horse felt safe, which Walter always ensured. The last day I saw Walter was July 2nd when he graciously took me on a tour of his farm, introducing me to all his beloved fur babies and the newest additions,, Dynasty and Brownie. I have a video of that day including Walter petting the horses, which I will cherish and share with you.
May the love of those around you and your family provide comfort and strength.
Dear Jennifer and Aleksandra,
We were so sorry to hear the sad news about Walter. May fond memories of his time with you bring you comfort.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Bob and Nancy Reinhart

Walter Horr was a true horseman. A man that loved the spirit , grace and wisdom of the Equine Kingdom.
His vast knowledge and insight into the equine psyche was unsurpassed. Walter’s spirit and strength of character will be missed by his loved ones. The boarders, and horses will miss his unconditional love for everything horse related.
Bless Walter on his trusted steed, on his journey home.
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If you need help with anything on the farm please let us know.
