That’s wonderful that they’ve changed the program and are rebuilding the barns. I visited the unit quite a bit when I was stationed at a college in DC from 99-01. They provided excellent care for the horses but the stalls were small and the aisles were brick, as the article says. The animals looked good back then. They even trailered the horses to nearby Great Falls for trail rides. But work was light before the war. The pace really picked up after 9-11 (I was heading to my first ship by then). It sounds like the program went downhill after that.
