Thoroughbreds can do
Avrispecial – Tight Turns are Tough
Avrispecial is doing very well. I worked him in the round pen on Friday. He was full of energy! He willingly went both directions, the only bad thing he did was kick out at me when he was asked to stay on the rail. I did not make to big of a deal about it…

Flame Warms the Hearts of His New Moms
