Sooo, I have to ask ( from the facebook):  Ollie will be picked up in the morning for cremation. He will come home to us at Frog Pond farm and always remain part of our herd.

Who is paying for the cremation? The Gorden family or the rescue? If it was the rescue I would be seriously pissed if I were to contribute money to help neglected horses.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the emotional bond, one develops, very well. This just goes a bit to far for me.
