❤️ Nature & Soul

Avalanche was powerful, playful, and good-natured. He enjoyed his work, leaning into the harness with enthusiasm. He was surprisingly agile for his size. He had a gentle mouth and was careful with his enormous strength. His personality was like a winter storm—awesome in power but ultimately bringing beauty and quiet joy. He was a working horse who never lost his sense of fun.

⭐ Special Memory

The most joyful memory is of the first major snowfall each year. We'd turn Avalanche loose in the fresh powder, and he'd explode into action. He'd buck, roll, gallop in circles, his white coat disappearing against the snow, then reappearing in a cloud of powder. He was like a kid on a snow day, celebrating the season he was born for. Watching 2,000 pounds of horse frolic with pure abandon was a hilarious and heartwarming spectacle.

🐾 Favorite Things

Avalanche loved explosive snow play, powerful logging work, pulling sleighs with enthusiasm, and being both serious worker and joyful player in winter landscapes.

Remembering a white Percheron whose massive form and surprising speed made him a force of nature in both work and play.

Avalanche was a white mountain on the move. A Percheron gelding, his coat was the color of fresh snow, his mane and tail thick and wavy. He was incredibly strong, used for logging and sleigh rides, but he also had a playful, almost puppy-like energy. He'd buck and play in the snow, his massive body sending up clouds of powder. The winter landscape feels less alive without his joyous rolls in fresh snow, the empty sleigh missing his powerful pull. The chainsaw sits silent without his strength to drag logs.
