As you can tell, Benny is pretty happy to be back with his girls. 🤍

After everything this little boy has been through over the last few weeks, there’s something so special about seeing him back where he belongs, surrounded by his favourite girls and getting back to the little things that make him happy.

It’s been a long road to get here, and there were moments when we could only hope that we’d get to see him enjoying life like this again. Watching him settle back into his routine, enjoying his friends, and just being Benny means more to us than we could ever put into words.

We think he’s pretty happy to be home, back with his girls, and back to being the little social butterfly we all know and love. 🫶🏻

20,000 OF BENNY’S BUDDIES. 🫶🏻

How do you even begin to put into words what this means to our family?

Back in 2021, a girl who had just graduated university had a little dream. A dream that started with one horse, a whole lot of passion, and no idea where life was going to take her. That little dream grew into a farm, a full operation, and a life that our family gets to share together every single day.

And somewhere along the way, our Benny boy became a part of our story in a way none of us could have ever imagined.

When we started sharing Benny’s journey, we never could have dreamed that it would reach 20,000 people. We never imagined that so many people, from right here on our little Island to places all around the world, would care so deeply about a little horse and the family who loves him.

People often tell us how lucky Benny is to have us. And while we would do absolutely anything for him, we hope you know that we are just as lucky to have him.

Benny has taught us so much more than we could ever teach him. He has taught us perseverance when things get hard, patience when the road is longer than we hoped, and a kind of love that is pretty difficult to put into words. He has brought people into our lives, connected us with people we may never have otherwise met, and reminded us just how much good can come from sharing a little piece of your world with others.

To think that something that started as a little dream in 2021 has brought us here is something we will never take for granted.

And to every single person who has followed along, shared a post, left a kind word, checked in on Benny, prayed for him, cheered him on, or simply taken a few minutes out of your day to see how our boy is doing, THANK YOU.

You haven’t just followed Benny’s story. You’ve become a part of it. You’ve given us encouragement on the hard days, celebrated the good ones with us, and shown our family a level of kindness that we will never forget.

Twenty thousand people. Twenty thousand connections. Twenty thousand reasons to be grateful that we decided to share our little corner of the world.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being here. Thank you for loving Benny. And thank you for making this little dream mean more than we ever could have imagined.

We don’t know exactly where this journey will take us next, but we know one thing for sure: we’re so glad we get to share it with all of you.

Here’s to the little dream that started it all, the boy who has brought us all together, and every one of you who has become part of our story.

Much love from our family to all 20,000 of Benny’s buddies. ♥️

Benny, the little Island star he is, had another special visitor!

Taylor O’Brien, a reporter with CBC who first visited Benny six months ago, came back to check in and share an update with Islanders on how he’s doing following his operation.

It’s pretty special to have people follow along with Benny’s journey and come back to see how far he’s come. We’re so grateful for the continued interest and support as Benny begins this next chapter of his story. 🫶🏻

Our boy is doing well at home, taking lots of time to rest, relax, and eat all his food! We’re so happy to have him home and getting settled back into his own routine.

The day we’ve ALL been waiting for… BENNY IS HOME! 🫶🏻

After an all-inclusive vacation at AVC for about a week and a half, our boy has finally made his way back home to Living the Dream Stables!

Benny seems to be no worse for wear, although he might be a little stiff after spending so much time in a stall. He got a little walk around when he first arrived home, and it didn’t take long for us to realize that it was business as usual with this guy. Just as we were getting ready to put him in his stall, he reared up and threw his front legs at Dad… safe to say, we don’t think his personality went anywhere! 😂

Once he settled into his stall, he was right back to nickering away to the neighbours (volume up!) and munching on his hay like he’d never left.

We can’t thank the incredible team at AVC enough for everything they’ve done for our boy, and we’re so grateful to finally have him back where he belongs.

Welcome home, Benny boy. We sure missed you! ♥️

A little Thanksgiving update on our Benny boy 🤍

Last night, after 5–6 days of giving him some much-needed peace and quiet to rest and recover, we finally made the trip to see our little man.

Benny is doing great and healing well! Although we were pretty excited to see him, he was far more interested in his hay than lifting his head to acknowledge his visitors. 😂

And the best news of all? OUR BOY IS COMING HOME TOMORROW! 🥹🤍 We couldn’t be more excited to have him back where he belongs!

This Thanksgiving, we’re feeling especially grateful for each and every person who had a hand in Benny’s surgery and continues to play a part in his aftercare. We’re also so thankful for the incredible community Benny has built here online. The love, encouragement, and support you’ve all shown our boy and our family have meant more than we could ever put into words.

We hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend surrounded by the people who mean the most to you. From our family to yours, we wish you nothing but health, happiness, and plenty of reasons to be thankful. 🤍

A big day at the farm!

Mom, who has officially earned herself the nickname “the barn cat,” ticked another box off the to-do list this morning! She got out for a spin on the double-seater behind none other than Benny’s mom, Lady Willa! ♥️

Benny’s surgeon was kind enough to send us these photos of Benny taking it easy while he recovers! The tracheostomy has now been removed, and the opening in his throat is healing naturally. The team has been monitoring him closely as he continues to recover. He’s been spending more time lying down and resting, giving his body some much-needed time to heal after his surgery.

Another positive is Benny has been passing manure regularly, so his food intake has now returned to normal! We’re so happy to see him getting the rest he needs and continuing to make progress.

Recovery takes time, but this little guy is as tough as they come, and we couldn’t be prouder of him! We’re so grateful to his entire veterinary team for taking such incredible care of our boy. ♥️
