Shari Click, Hock Shield
We had a fantastically successful event and I think that the BAEN banner was a huge help in promoting it! It was a great suggestion as I wouldn't have thought of a newsletter banner otherwise.
Sara Malone, Circle Oak Equine

Friend Drops off Horses "For the Weekend," Horses Still Here Six Months Later
By Rachel Kosmal McCart
Q: A friend of mine lost his job and asked me if he could keep his horses at my place "for the weekend" while he found a new boarding facility. I wanted to help him out, so I agreed. It was just for the weekend and I wasn't going to charge him, so I didn't ask him to sign anything. Now, six months later, his horses are still here, and every time I ask him when he's moving them, he makes excuses. Other than buying some hay now and then, he hasn't helped with the horse care at all. How can I get him to move his horses?! If he doesn't move the horses, can I give them away?
