I am so sorry for the losses I have read about here and pray those humans losing a human, or one who has lost a dear horse, always have the great memories of them.
I am so happy to know Lane’s End still celebrates your birthday Zenyatta, as you so deserve all the love and celebration. Wish I could be there with you.
Happy Birthday to your son Zi too!
Love you always and all of your foals

Dear Sheena:
Hovis looks comfortable; hope the new shoe helps even more. Glad to see he and Mum haven’t lost their sense of humor. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
Thanks again for our weekly dose of The Hoverine!
So happy that Hovis is allowed to graze even if it is a small patch. Hope CNSM’s plan is successful in speeding up the recovery process for the “Magnificent Mr. H”. The Hovis humor is truly welcomed each week!
Hugs and Love
