Hi Charlotte, I will definately be there - looks like I may have 3 mares in foal this year and it is time for a refresher course, see you there.

 

[Becky]

I think having a foaling clinic at a farm in a 'hands on' approach is a wonderful idea! I'll be there if I'm not mare watching.

 

[Songcatcher]

Gee, WISH I could be there. Why do I live so far away from everyone? Oh yea, I don't want to live in a city.

 

[Julie/Azariah]

Oh how I wish....I will be with you in spirit :O)

I know it will be wonderful... looks like a great outline~ lots of very important topics to be covered!

But Songcatcher you could come to visit

)) I would love to meet you. I have a mare you used to own and would like to put a face with the name.

 

[Becky]

Freeland, I think you need to come! It's not that far!

If Starlight would get a move on it (331 days today) we could move the clinic to my farm for a hands on foaling!

 

[Songcatcher]

I would love to, but don't know if I can make it or not. I've got some other things scheduled. I know I need to.

 

[Charlotte]

We are filling fast. Please, if you are thinking of coming just get your name on our list before we run out of room.

thank you,

Charlotte
