Recently I mentioned my horse friend Mickey, on the air, for the very first time. But, I forgot to tell you how handsome he is! He is a 14.3 hand liver chestnut, with a mane that is a little too long. He has also, at age 8, started developing white spots, maybe called birdcatcher spots? This is just like his mother, the Hanoverian mare who also lives on the same property. He is a sales horse, meaning, I gather he's for sale and could leave at any moment - ha, as the challenge I've admitted he is. I do expect him to be sane and sound enough for a mounted group walk, off property, by the end of September. I'm sure he's willing. Do you want to meet him?

Last week, I don't know if I was clear about the fact that I have invited Mickey to join me at the Hoofbeat Challenge - a pledged ride and fundraiser for Sunrise Therapeutic Learning & Riding Centre. It's happening Saturday September 27th, and we have invited CFRU and the hoofbeats radio club members… And, we want to invite you!

Not an active rider, dog walker or pedestrian? Then I invite you to pledge in support of Mickey and me, in our planned attendance. Tax receipts are issued for amounts over $20 for these valuable pledges to Sunrise. We welcome your support! Write to us for more info, hoofbeats.media@gmail.com.
