Some of you may recall that I had sent a few of my horses, including my fabulous stallion, Senter Stage, to a trainer. Because her farm was a few hours' drive away, I only had the chance to go there once every two or three months. Nevertheless, I was very happy with her work for nearly a year.
Over the winter, without my knowing it, things took a turn for the worse. Eventually I started hearing complaints from other horse people.
This is what I discovered.
This is my filly Torchsong BEFORE going to the trainer's:
This is what she looked like when she left:
This is my Art Deco daughter, Glory, BEFORE she went to the trainer's:

I don't think I need to say any more about why I pulled my valuable stallion off that farm as soon as I could.
Although Senter (fortunately!!!) was not in as poor condition as the two fillies above, he was still underweight. I've spent the past few weeks getting his weight back where it belongs.
Now, I need to start marketing him. He's the last of my horses I have to sell.
(The two fillies pictured above have gone to good homes, so don't worry, they're being well taken care of).
