Why wouldn’t I start an Equestrian Club where I now live? 30 club members have already joined. This is going to be fun! Many different breeds of horses here in Park City. Happy to introduce my #OTTB, Order and Law, to the members.

In May we awarded a grant to ReReun Thoroughbred Adoption for Pazz the Soy Sauce. Rehab for #OTTB at aftercare organizations is expensive. The horses that did what was asked of them deserve support when they get injured. Happy to give Pazz The Soy Sauce the opportunity to heal.
