"Horse Joke" by Madame Equina on April 4, 2005, 2:06 pm, in category Horse Chatter

Some race horses staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about
his track record. "In the last 15 races, I've won 8 of them!"

Another horse breaks in, "Well in the last 27 races, I've won 19!!"

"Oh that's good, but in the last 36 races, I've won 28", says another,
flicking his tail.

At this point, they notice that a greyhound dog has been sitting there
listening. "I don't mean to boast,"but in my last 90 races, I've won 88
of them!"

"Farewell to Mid-County Farm Supply" by Madame Equina on March 2, 2004, 12:18 pm, in category General

On February 29, 2004, Mid-County Farm Supply closed its doors on Falmouth Street in Warrenton, Virginia. It is with sadness that we view the loss of a valued, long time member of the community, and we will miss the friendly informality of this family store and its staff. In rapidly developing Warrenton, we are sorry to lose a business that clearly cared about its customers and neighbors.

In the last week that they were open, the owners, staff and customers of Mid-.....

Crea is a now almost one year old, a bay filly of unknown ancestry, awaiting her permanent home at Traveller's Rest Equine Elders Sanctuary. Yesterday, we discovered something we did not know about her.........she's gaited!

Yesterday afternoon, Crea and her buddy, Britches, .....

He is about 13H and in his early 20s. He is a grey roan with black spots, and very flashy.

But Joker is in trouble. His distraught dad has owned him for many years and is now unable to care for him due to drastic changes in his circumstances. Joker is healthy and broke to ride, but suffers from recurrent uveitis, or.....
