  • Composting mortality is a safe and logical option for “disposal” as it is legal, possible in all Minnesota seasons, and the only option for equines that recycles nutrients in a renewable manner.

    Composting itself is a natural, biological process that transforms organic materials into a nutrient rich, stable soil additive suitable for plant and crop use.

    The compost process is respectful of our natural environment as it prevents barbiturates (drugs for euthanasia) from entering our soil/water via burial and avoids the emissions that come with cremation/incineration.

    As stewards of the land and our animals, we have a responsibility to do right by our horses and the environment.

Have you planned for goodbye?

Death is inevitable. Our friends won't live forever. Do you have a plan in place for the day you face this loss? It is our sincere hope that we can be of help and that our website can provide points to consider when making these preparations.

As tender-hearted animal lovers, we know first-hand how special our companions are and the enduring effect they have on our lives. We are honored to provide gentle pick-up and transport of beloved, deceased large animals to a location of your choosing.

We are also proud to offer sensitive composting services that go hand-in-hand with the circle of life, honoring their existence while nurturing the world that remains.
