Hello again!
This blog is going to be a handy way of me keeping in touch with all of you. Two days ago we had the privilege of hauling two horses to their new homes in Iowa City for a dear adopter. A few years ago she adopted Friendly Explosion from ASAP. It was time for her to return home to Iowa, so naturally her Quarter horse gelding and Standardbred companion went with. Brandon, my foster son, Zachary (now 10) and little Peanut made the trip with us that entailed over 425 miles round trip. You can see by the pictures that Brandon wasn't totally sure I knew where I was going at all times (okay I wasn't)...but Zach and Peanut were enjoying the adventure.
The bad news is that Taser Gun, our latest celebrity, was kicked by Big Tom's Kid (who didn't have her shoes removed when she came from the track) a few days ago. He is non weight-bearing on a rear leg and will require stall rest for some time to recover. The whole incident happened before we could even turn around and has never happened before to any horse that has come in to ASAP. We are taking very very good care of him and he is enjoying meeting the new critters here, including our dog Ju-Bee-Ju (that is his nick name). We are still needing homes for horses - foster homes - adoptive homes - come one, come all!!! I know I make light of it but this is a very serious situation. I am thinking of you all,
Susan
