Annie Update from Sept 28 2008

Update on Annie from Julie B., foster mom: I am now riding Annie in English tack with no problems. She is going well under saddle but has tried to buck when asked to trot — not sure what that is about! She continues to improve with listening to leg and seat...

Scotti — Sept 18, 2008

Scotti is sounding a lot better but NOT being a good boy for them. He’s making me chase him for 15 minutes before he will allow himself to be caught, and getting it down his throat isn’t fun either.

Biscotti — Sept 14, 2008

Poor Scotti was sounding bad again yesterday, and thankfully Hannah happened to be out and checked in on him. He is back on the antibiotics for another week. He seems like he feels ok, but his breathing sounds like Darth Vader. If he doesn’t improve after another...

Biscotti — Sept 1, 2008
