Sarge Update/ December 2007. Hi All, Well December is here and Winter is creeping in. Sarge is great and is maintaining his weight. I have added in some oil and a touch of Senior to hold his supplements. He gets xtra hay and his blanket at night. He just got new shoes and the Vet comes out late Jan/early Feb for the works.His mental state is good !! Did I mention how much I love him? ?

Wow, that's great news, rocky! I was still under the impression that he was around twenty...I guess I missed his new age assessment. All the better for both of you, though, you will many many more happy years together! (And I get to see pics and read his stories!)

Yes, actually when the Vet floated his teeth he said "WOW!!" " He is much younger then I thought" Then.... he said 13-15 tops,.... so, I just say 13 because we will be together longer if we stay on the bottom end of that scale... My first horse lived well into his 30's....

I tend to forget that he's that young too. He has decreased in age since going home to you Rocky! What a lovely barn. It's dreamy.

Sarge had his Vet day Feb 8th and he got a clean bill of health. He has been re-aged to 17.. sniff this year. The Vet did say he is not in his 20's !! He also said Sarge can be seen every 18 months except for vacc's.. so it's all good...

Sarge update / May 31, 2008 Sarge is shedding much more then last year soooo intense grooming it is. I am riding him almost everyday and we are working in the arena with an occasional trip into the forest. We are also doing very low jumps here and there, he really seems to enjoy flying. I am back taking Dressage lessons... Other things... The barn owners are selling the farm.....Blah so I am starting to look for boarding options.. That is all for now...Rocky

Sarge Update June 2008! Now that the weather is on it's way to "nice", Sarge is getting out more... Often, we ride down the road into the woods and do the trails which consist of 131 acres.. Not much, but still fun...My goal is to beable to ride him anywhere under all conditions... Sarge also now trailer loads!! Rocky
