Delilah Update from Jan 28 2010

Baxter Update from Jan 26ā28, 2010

October Training Report
Phoenix had a hard month concentrating under saddle. He continues to look sound on the front but does come out of his stall pretty stiff both in the front and hind. He had quite a few naughty days this month mostly due to work, noise, and activity at the barn thatā¦
