Summer 2009

Today’s financial climate has presented us with many new challenges. The current state of our country’s economy has had a devastating effect on all aspects of the horse industry. Usually in the summer our calls and e-mails on horses needing homes are less frequent. That is just not the case now; in fact, just yesterday we got emails on 6 horses needing homes.
