Mary-
I just wanted to send you a note saying how much I admire you as a person and as a horse person. Throughout my years involved with horses, I have met many people whose morals and caring about both horses and riders have ranged from ethical to questionable.
You have always conducted yourself with great dignity and fairness. There are only a few people I would not worry about having a horse that was mine in their care and you are one of them. I know you will always try to do the right thing. That sounds so simple but is so difficult in practice.
Because of a quote from you, I have also discontinued the use of depo in my gelding (who is a bit studdish to handle on the ground). I feel better knowing it is the right thing to do and the risks do not outweigh the benefits. Besides, Neo is a landshark too-I should be used to it, haha.
I just wanted to thank you and Sarah all the good care and kindness you have shown myself and Neo and wish you a wonderful holiday season and a joyful New Year.
