Fabulous series full of practical, easy to understand information. Thanks so much!
I am so impressed with this series. Thank you for providing the information on the senior horse. My 25 yr old TB is doing well for his age and I want to help him continue in good health. Dr. Gray was very easy to listen to. I got a lot out of this series. Thank you very much.
What a great series! Heard some info that I already knew but learned a lot about my old gal. She is the anchor of our grandchildren’s horse training. This will allow be to pass that information on to them. Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome Deb!
