Sinatra Update from Feb 28 2008
Sinatra is SUCH a social butterfly. He is truly a doll of a little boy, so curious and happy and unafraid of people. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM!
Phoenix Photos
Here are a few photos I took of Phoenix yesterday during his grass time: Phoenix is doing very well! He got quite a bit of grass time yesterday with the other two colts, and I think the social time and the grass really…
