March 2004
Horse Care Tip:
Early spring is the best time to get your horse's vaccinations boostered, before mosquito season and show season. Many local veterinarians offer low cost vaccination clinics this time of year. It's also a good time to get Coggins tests done, particularly if you are traveling out of state this show season.

We hope this newsletter finds everyone doing well. Spring is on its way! We hope you are as excited for the upcoming show season as we are. There are a few date and judge changes on the calendar, please check the calendar page frequently for changes and updates.
