Aiden Training Update
Quick update on Aiden, who has now been in training for one month. He is progressing well, albeit a bit slowly at first. He got kicked by another horse right after he arrived so he got a delayed start while that healed, and then he turned out to be a bit of a bronc…
Romeo Update
Dr. Hannah called me tonight to let me know that she developed the xrays and they confirmed what we suspected…Romeo has suffered further catastrophic injury to his leg. It was helpful to be able to compare the xrays to the previous ones we took, while the leg was…
