Coastside Enjoys a Few Days Rest after Traveling
Coastside aka “Coast” arrived at his new home. He is currently relaxing in his stall and I figured I would let him take it easy for a few days. I do love him though he is a total sweetheart. He loves to have his face rubbed! Julia
Diplomatic Conversions
Hi Michelle and Elizabeth, I hope this note finds you both well, along with your respective families. Memphis got a respite from ridiculous temperatures and humidity, to Goldie’s and my benefit.

Allegedly True aka “True Sweetheart” stood quietly for the farrier and then went on a hunter pace at the Metamora Hunt. He did very well and stayed right with the other four horses — did not spook at any thing.
