Re: RC: What Horses Will Endure

Hi Becky,
I'm located in Ohio, and if you'd really like to find out something about 
your rescued mare, I'd be glad to see if I may be able to uncover some 
information.  I've rescued countless horses in Ohio and Texas through the 
years.  Many went on to be successful in endurance, competitive, show and 
pleasure.  Good luck with your new angel.  Jenny Simpson, AERC #99.
