Deeds Update from Jan 23 2008
Deeds update from Lucy: I’m sorry to hear about Deeds’ colic episode! I saw him today and he looked good. I think the pelleted bedding is helping a bit because there was less sand in his stall. He was really perky and excited to be getting out of his stall and move…

Honeycutt Update from Oct 31, 2007

Jewel Comes Home To Safe Harbor
When I was told that Jewel would be moving back from foster, I was warned she had a history of being a bit of a stinker. I thought for a long time on how to prepare the barn for this little rebel and what ways I could set her up for a successful transition. We…
