Reading Cathlin and Playboy’s story for the first time? Be sure to check out Part 1: Something’s Wrong, too! So much for avoiding that emergency bill… It’s amazing how the mind goes quiet in an emergency situation. Mine immediately stopped…
It was a normal Monday in January when I got the call. The call that every horse owner dreads. “Hey Cathlin, Playboy was off in turnout so we brought him in for the day.” Now, Playboy is many things, but…
