I was in the Nobleton Shopping Plaza around 9:00 this morning. I returned to my car, had just put my seat belt on and there was a man standing at my window. I rolled it down a few inches and …

A half-brother of Z and Z has joined us at Winsong Farm. He’s a 2006 foal, gelded, grey and named Bucephulus. He’s about 15hh (a height I encouraged Z and Z to STOP growing at, but they persevered to 16.1 …
