US couple makes Aliyah with a pony and a dream to establish a farm ‚to help rebuild‘ northern Israel – After serving in US military, Robert Shurtleff says he is no longer afraid of wars but was moved to tears upon arrival in Israel with his wife Jennifer and their therapy horse from Colorado; they plan to start a small farm in Kfar Tavor | ynetnews

Robert and Jennifer Shurtleff landed in Israel knowing they were going to be reunited not only with their daughter, who moved here about a decade ago, but also with their pony, Turk who had been in quarantine. “Today we will arrive at our house and meet our horse, who was away from us for two months. He immigrated here with all the paperwork and documentation, just like we did,” Robert says excitedly.
