These are a few of our lesson horses finishing up with thest week of camp this year! The chestnut, Mister, and light Appy, Cosmo, are 28 years old and still are a little creaky. The paint, Seven, is loving her new shoes and pads due to sore bruised soles and other hoof problems. (We have only just recently acquired her) And the POA, Joey,is getting back in the game after having Kissing spine surgery! They all live outside in their own paddocks and sheds. The floors of the sheds are rough. Flooding, freezing, ankle deep mud. These guys and girl deserve the best because they GIVE so much to these kids.
