THOROGOLD STABLES NEWSLETTER

January 25^th, 2001

• If anyone has any items (new or used) for sale, please let me know and we can put it in the periodic newsletter. Also, info wanted for the newsletter would include but not be limited to: Clinics, shows, poker and trail rides.

• Still working on arena conditions--obviously this will be an ongoing dilemma. Thanks to Wendy for putting me in touch with a couple people regarding possible solutions. Unfortunately, for this year I'll be limping along. The two possible solutions that seem to have merit both need to be done in warm weather. Soooooo, I'm going to try putting down more of the Dust Down product that I purchased last year (using a different concentration). Please take care when you first start riding to watch for possible slick or frozen areas--this is somewhat worrisome because of the freezing temperature.

• It seems as though the bedding in the stalls has made the horses happier during these wet winter months. Thanks for your patience and keeping me posted on how each of your individual horses is fairing.

so It does not go out into the runs.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: When feeding, pull bedding back from doorways when you check waterers.

GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL FOR BEING CONSCIENTIOUS WITH LIGHTS AND KEEPING DOORS SHUT!!!

THANK YOU ALSO FOR CLEANING UP AFTER YOUR HORSES & FARRIERS!!!

Becky Knight will be leaving the end of February so I'll be looking for someone to fill in some days for stall cleaning. Let me know if you know someone who might be responsible and interested.
