Update from Holly’s adopter: Yesterday Holly and I had a centered riding lesson from Karen Ireland. It was awesome! We did a group class with three of our friends. After so many years of trail riding, I had lots to work on. We did walk and trot. Holly was wonderful!...

Unfortunately, Delilah got into it with the other dominant mare in her foster-to-adopt situation and Delilah did a bit of damage to the other horse. The other horse will be ok, but as Delilah clearly isn’t going to work out in her herd long-term, Delilah is once again...
