Newsletter
It has been a while since I have been able to get a newsletter out. I apologize. My husband and I were married in September, so my last name has changed to Persing. We have been fighting a parasite here that seems to be drug-resistant. We have been using some alternative methods of treating parasites that our vet recommended. We are also in the process of getting everyone here ready for winter. We have one new horse, an 8 year old sorrel/white paint stud. Once he puts weight on we’ll be gelding him.
We have a number of changes here at HHR that we are working on and will be announced soon.
Events
HHR is having a raffle to benefit the horses over the winter months. It is a dollar per ticket. The drawing is for a gift basket that contains 3 energy drinks and a “Ribbon Book,” which allows the person that wins the raffle to choose their gift from any of the items in the book. (Items are shown at http://cpersing.ordermygift.com/Documents/IWOV/VIS/010-en/swf/shopbuy/Ribbon/GI_albums_2007_N.html.) We will be drawing for the raffle on December 18th. Tickets may be purchased on line, but please contact us via email.
We are getting all of our paperwork and such together for the horse fairs coming up this spring ’08. We will be posting on the website about this year’s upcoming events.
Featured Horse
Candy
Candy came to us this summer. She is a sorrel and white Shetland pony mare. She is halter broke and mostly well behaved, however she was abused in some way in the past. She tends to run from people and is going to take some time before she will be friendly. She is due to foal in May 2008. She would make a very pretty little cart horse once she settles in here. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated and are tax deductible.
