An abused, abandoned horse taken in by the farm sanctuary run by comedian Jon Stewart and his wife died over the weekend, according to an announcement posted on the sanctuary's Facebook page Monday. 
  
 "It is with the deepest sadness that we share with you that dearest, sweetest Lily passed away yesterday. She went peacefully surrounded by so many that loved her. We stroked her hair and told her over and over again how loved and special she was. She was under her favorite tree on soft grass," read the announcement posted Monday on the page, "The Daily Squeal." 
  
  
  
 Horse headed to Stewart sanctuaryThe white horse was abandoned at an auction in Lancaster County, Pa. She was underweight and was splattered with paint markings all over her body. She was adopted by Tracey Stewart, a longtime animal welfare advocate, in March. 
  
 It was initially believed Lily had been hit repeatedly by rounds from a paint gun, but authorities were still trying to determine if that was how the animal came to be marked. A former owner said Lily had been finger-painted by children using non-toxic paint. 
  
 A Rhode Island man, Philip Price, 65, was convicted on five counts related to the handling, transport and sale of Lily, ABC 27 News reported.

 MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) — A horse adopted by Jon Stewart and his wife after it was found seemingly abandoned at an auction stable in Pennsylvania has died at their New Jersey farm. 
  
 The white mare named Lily was euthanized Sunday after falling and breaking a bone in its neck at their Middletown farm, Tracey Stewart said. 
  
 "When we knew there was nothing more we could do for her we covered her in kisses and kind words and said our goodbyes," Stewart said in a statement. "Our hearts are aching we had so many more fun plans for her. She was beyond special and beyond loved." 
  
 The Stewarts adopted the horse last month after it was found in March at an auction stable in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Police said she was covered in paint and was extremely sore to the touch. The abused-horse tale soon became a cause celebre, but the animal's previous owner said the story relayed by the Lancaster County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that it was shot by paintballs was wrong. 
  
 Doreen Weston, who owns Smoke Hollow Farm in Pittstown, New Jersey, said the horse was about 35 years old and was acquired in the late 1990s. She said the animal was actually used as a canvas at children's finger-painting parties. 
  
 Weston said she wanted the horse euthanized because its quality of life was so poor. She said she contacted a horse dealer to take it in February and assumed the dealer would euthanize the horse but didn't tell him to. 
  
 The dealer, Phillip Price, of East Providence, Rhode Island, was convicted last month in New Holland of animal cruelty and other charges related to transporting a horse in poor condition. Price is on probation in Rhode Island after pleading no contest to animal cruelty in July, court records show. 
  
 Weston said that she was sad to hear that the horse died and thanked the Stewarts for trying to help her. 
  
 "She had a lot of issues. Her physical condition was deteriorating rapidly. I did everything I could to try to get her better," Weston said. "She wasn't well, she hadn't been well for a while. ... They tried to make her have more quality of life and I'm sure she did, for a month or so." 
  
 Tracey Stewart said that Lily enjoyed her time at the farm munching on grass and got "massages, baths and lots and lots of hugs." 
  
 Stewart said the animal slept in her barn listening to soft music and that the horse's favorite Pandora channel was Ray Lamontagne. ||||| See more of The Daily Squeal on Facebook ||||| See more of The Daily Squeal on Facebook |||||

At least Lily had a great last month. A rescue horse recently adopted by Jon Stewart died on Sunday, according to a Facebook post from the farm sanctuary Stewart runs with his wife, Tracey. "Her bones were very frail. She stumbled and fell hard on her neck causing a break," the post reads. "We stroked her hair and told her over and over again how loved and special she was," according to a second post, per NJ.com. "She went peacefully ... under her favorite tree on soft grass." The horse's back story remains a little unclear. Initially, the SPCA in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County said the horse, discovered at an auction stable, had been pelted up close by paint balls. But the horse's former owner has since come forward to say that the paint actually came from kids' finger-painting parties, reports AP. The owner says Lily was 35, and she had taken her to a horse dealer in February under the assumption the horse would be euthanized. The dealer put her up for auction, however, and that's when she was discovered. The dealer faces animal cruelty charges over transporting a horse in poor condition.
