Sterling's Second Career Here at SOURCE headquarters in Connecticut, we try to present ourselves as sober, serious, business folk. The truth is, we're just old softies when it comes to animals. That's not really surprising. After all, SOURCE was originally created to help Hull and every other horse have better lives through better nutrition. And everyone who has joined our SOURCE family through the years has been genuinely dedicated to the welfare of creatures large and small. So Sterling's continuing story warms us to our toes and even brought
tears to few eyes (though no one will actually admit this if you ask). |

 With
his health restored, Sterling has become a schoolmaster for Lynette's
2-year-old daughter, Brittany. "He knows she's small and wouldn't do
anything to hurt her," Lynette says. That might be quite enough for
most elderly equines but not for Sterling.
He also helps out the local Equine Specialists handicapped riding program. Two local youngsters who are part of the program visit Sterling to brush and groom. Since the vet gave a thumbs up to riders under 75 pounds, one child even hops aboard for a leisurely walk around the pasture. "Once a week, Sterling is there for them," says Lynette. "He really loves the attention." *Brittany makes sure that Sterling eats all his breakfast -- |

"I'm glad I didn't take other people's word that he was through," she continues. "He's at the point where he can still give a lot." "We're keeping more older horses," Lynette points out. Thanks to her commitment, Sterling is living an older horse's fairy tale come true. And while our old friends may not be able to live happily ever after forever, here at SOURCE we believe many of them can live happily longer. That's why we created FOCUS SR.
