Sweet Gretel

Sweet Gretel joined SPARK with her brother Hansel in June 2022 to be part of their equine assisted therapy program. Small in stature and gentle as can be, Gretel had a special way of making even the youngest clients feel at ease.

She suffered with mild colic symptoms from time to time but recently she developed a much more serious bout. She fought courageously and was lovingly tended to around the clock for days. Sadly her body did not respond to all the treatment and it was clear this time she would not recover. Gretel was given the Last Act of Kindness surrounded by those who loved her most. We were pleased to have been able to provide them with our Humane Euthanasia Grant.
