From Michael..
It's hard to believe it's December with temperatures in the 50s and the horses rolling in mud kissed by the sun. It's so gratifying to see Arson Squad sprinting with I'm Charismatic. There are not many geldings...regardless of accomplishments...who would be the beneficiary of Samantha Siegel's generosity and Dr. Larry Bramlages's expertise. Don't get me wrong, Arson Squad earned every bit of it. It's just so heartwarming to see him galloping across his paddock...coming out of the fog like some sort of reincarnated apparition.
Christmas always brings thoughts of our oldest, kindest retiree, Clever Allemont. He's so gentle with everyone and, even though he's deaf and has limited vision, he is a great communicator. One of our latest favorites is Star Plus..flashy, intelligent and proud of his Argentinian roots. Commentator is now in the big paddock, vacated when Zippy Chippy and Red Down South returned from their summer vacation in Kentucky to their permanent home with Joanne and Mark at Old Friends at Cabin Creek in Greenfield Center, New York. He loves the added space for his unique self-expression...a huge canvas for his expansive sense of art. Salzburg, who resided off-site, is now at Old Friends at Dream Chase Farm. Sandra and Dale Tester, Salzburg's caretakers, have taken marvelous care of one of Rosie Napravnik's favorite old friends.
Thank you so much for your generosity. I hope everyone gets to visit soon. There's nothing like seeing them in person.
