Support Xanny's Final Journey with Love

In Loving Memory of Xanny

Dear friends, family, and anyone who’s ever loved an animal,

I’m writing this with a shattered heart. My sweet boy, Xanny, is gone. Just days ago, he started showing signs of colic. I did everything I could — watching over him, hoping it would pass, praying for strength and healing. But the pain grew worse, and I rushed him to Desert Pines Equine Hospital. For two long days, we were on a heartbreaking roller coaster, holding on to any bit of hope that he might pull through.

But the moment came when I had to make the hardest decision I’ve ever faced — to let him go and end his suffering. No words can describe the pain of saying goodbye.

Xanny was so much more than a horse. He was my companion, my comfort, my steady soul. For over seven years, he was my safe place — the quiet in my chaos, the warmth in my world. He carried my weight in more ways than one. I truly don't know how to move forward without him.

I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t need to. His emergency care, hospital stay, and cremation are totaling around $3,500 — an amount I’m struggling to cover alone while grieving the loss of someone who meant everything to me.

I know everyone is going through something. The world feels heavy, and we are all carrying our own losses — so please know that this ask comes with humility and deep gratitude. If you can help, even with just a few dollars, it would lift a burden from my shoulders and help me give Xanny the respectful goodbye he deserves. And if you’re not able to give, sharing this means more than you know.

Thank you for seeing me in this moment of heartbreak. And thank you for honoring Xanny’s memory with your kindness.

With love and gratitude,

Katlyn & Tahlia
