Spring!

Spring is here (well let us hope!). This means we are starting to get back in the saddle, harness, or just in-hand. Here are some good reminders and tips to set yourselves up for success. Do not forget to contact your vet- spring is the time for vaccines, spring check ups, soundness checks, teeth checks, and deworming!
