It's Hunt Season for Huck and Douglass!

Both Douglass and Huck returned home to Sarah Reese's farm, Westerly, this week. We enjoyed having these wonderful horses visit us for the summer, but now it is time for them to return home for the fox hunting season!
Huck and Mackenzie

Mackenzie Boyer had a wonderful time showing Huck in the Pre-Adult division with much success, and Douglass enjoyed being well loved by the students at Foxtale Farm.  A special thanks to Lindsey Crawford, who spent lots of time making sure Douglass felt spoiled!
Lindsey and Douglass
While we're sure these good boys enjoyed some ring time over the past few months, we're certain they're eager to get back home and out in the hunt field with Sarah and Ellen! Many thanks to these ladies for letting us enjoy Huck and Douglass this summer!"
