Ask and Ye Shall Receive: the Story of Redmond

Tia Dec 1 2010

Tia is doing well, she seems stocked up on her right hind but she doesn’t favor it or move lame on it. I put her in the arena for a bit last night with Slam and Vanna and she rolled and ran and bucked with the two of them. She is very vocal and has quite a distictive…
