Today we drove Garnet up to the hospital in preparation for her surgery Friday morning. It was thankfully much cooler than it has been over the past few days, which made the trip nicer for her.

He has been doing well in arena work and has even done some low jumping (we would rather he not go to a home where he will be jumped a lot, however, as he has a shoulder injury that crops up when he is worked too … [Read more...]
