She apprenticed as a farrier in 2006 and started Mountain Oak Farrier Services with a partner in 2010 and currently works as an official at Mohawk Racetrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5ef0af5786faf86d4587fb3c67a0c805\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The career with horses brought her to adopt a couple of off-track Thoroughbreds and several senior ponies and donkeys. She began researching equine aftercare options after a few of her cherished companions passed away and found water cremation. This option really interested Michelle because of the extremely low ecological impact and how it mimics nature&#8217;s process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d142b9bc0d9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d142b9bc0d9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"552\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eternalequine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/received_1904079383294371-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eternalequine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/received_1904079383294371-3.jpeg 828w, https:\/\/www.eternalequine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/received_1904079383294371-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.eternalequine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/received_1904079383294371-3-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Pictured: Michelle with Royal Dalliance aka &#8220;Freshie&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a718e3d6e4b148f22af90ae40196254c\">Thank you for your inspiration and the joy you brought in our short time together,<br>Blindie, donkey, d.2014, Aladdin, pony, d.2014, Peanut, pony, d.2017, Tootsie, pony, d.2018, Bobby, pony, d.2018, Sugarfoot, pony, d.2019, Lollipop, donkey, d.2021, Freshie, thoroughbred, d.2021, Jasmine, pony, d.2022, and Puddles, d.2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Juliana has been working with animals for over two decades, starting in a pet store raising exotic birds which is where she met Michelle in 2009.
