One more horse has been added the the MHARF 2013 Trainer's Challenge. This is Hot Dam Elles A Fire, a 2008 Arabian/Saddlebred (aka National Showhorse) mare registered w/ the Half-Arabian Assoc. who stands 15.3hh. Ellie has Bask and Huckleberry Bey breeding. She is being trained this summer by Michelle Tomars. (And yes, we're aware she needs to put on some weight yet--Michelle will be balancing Ellie's training schedule with her nutritional needs very carefully)

Update on Minnesota Hay Bank: It was a long winter, and the Hay Bank continues to receive applications for hay assistance due in part to unavailable pasture. We are so glad to be a resource for horse owners struggling to feed their horses. If you have a few extra dollars to put to the Hay Bank this spring, we would be very grateful. On behalf of horses, thank you!!

Juliette got her trim last night. The outcome was not as good as

Juliette got her trim last night. The outcome was not as good as I had wanted. She is most likely permanently messed up as her hooves want to roll and her tendons do too. she could get some hoof extensions on the sides to even it out but we will wait until next trim to see what the proper thing to do is. Though we have had much worse in for feet issues, she had a LOT of bruising from her hooves curling under her sole and causing bruising on soles. She will have some relief but most likely always roll to the sides especially in the back.

Spring training, the first day of school, a new job, a fresh romance... they all come with questions, uncertainties and of course that nagging intestinal disorder known as butterflies. Maybe the ea...
