<div>If you’ve ever driven past Martha Price’s house in Deerfield, you knew Buddy.

</div>

<div>He was the big paint horse always standing at the fence in Martha’s yard. Rain or shine, he’d be there — just quietly watching, ears flicking, eyes soft. People waved to him — he was part of the neighborhood.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Buddy wasn’t just Martha’s horse. He was everyone’s. If you ever gave Buddy a carrot, brought him a surprise treat left on a fence post, or laughed at him mowing the front lawn; if you ever took his picture, or loved how he stood in the doorway looking for carrots, warming up by the woodstove, or just participating in the party; if Buddy brought joy and laughter to your life, we need your help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When he passed away, it left a hole. Not just in Martha’s yard, but in the hearts of those that knew him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And then, things got hard.

</div>

<div>There was a lot of confusion and tension about where and how Buddy was laid to rest. You’d think, in a rural town like Deerfield, it would be simple to bury a beloved horse on his own land. But it wasn’t. There were questions, complaints, even threats that he’d have to be moved. It was heartbreaking — for Martha, for everyone who loved him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After a long, stressful stretch, Buddy was able to stay where he belonged. He’s home now. He’s at peace.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And now, we want to create something lasting to honor him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re raising funds to commission a life-size wire sculpture of Buddy to be created by Mwanga William, an incredible artist from Uganda who now lives in Vermont. His work is soulful and full of life — exactly what we want for Buddy’s memorial.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The sculpture will go right where Buddy used to stand — by the fence, looking out at all of us. Just like always.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This sculpture will remind us of the quiet ways animals can shape our lives. It will help us heal after a painful goodbye. And it will let future generations know there was once a horse here who meant a whole lot to a whole lot of people. Not only will this be a memorial to Buddy, but it will also add an amazing piece of community art for the whole town to enjoy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donations will help cover:

</div>

<div>-The sculpture and materials

</div>

<div>-Transportation from the studio to the site

</div>

<div>-Preparing and installing on the site

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for helping us give something back to the horse who gave us so much.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s keep Buddy right where he’s always been — watching over Deerfield.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />
