| Hill n' Hound Horse Trials Cancelled: Farm to be Auctioned |
 As you may have already heard, we have decided to sell Hill n' Hound Farms. This was not an easy decision to make as we have many fond memories over the past 10 years of the events we've hosted, and most importantly, of the people we've met. That being said, we are excited about the many opportunities that the future may hold.
This is not Good-Bye but So Long for now.
If you have any questions about the sale process, we encourage you to contact Douglas Hensley at the Loranda Group, Inc., the firm marketing the property. Doug can be reached at 800-716-8189 or visit the Loranda web site at www.loranda.com .
Again, we greatly appreciate your support and friendship over the years.
Very Sincerely,
David & Garry
