This message is from: Gina Larson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All--
I went out to the barn with my good friend this morning to find that one of his TB mares aborted at six months. Still being relatively new to the horse world I was crushed as I had never experienced this before. I couldn't believe how perfectly formed the little baby was. We took a thorough walk around the pasture we rent (with the owner of the farm) to discover a four foot tall wild cherry tree tucked among the shrubbery on the outside of the fence. The tops of the branches were freshly chewed. I feel sick that I did not pay attention to the earlier posts regarding cherry trees. Thank god the mare is okay, as well as the other two broodmares that were out with her in the pasture yesterday. Hope my next post will be a happier one! It seems it has been a rough season for many.
