We sadly report that it was necessary to have our beloved
Border Collie, Zee, euthanized on January 19 due to pneumonia.
Zee was a shining star in our family's life for over 13 years
and she is greatly missed. Zee joined our family at 14 months
of age and quickly learned the routine of caring for horses,
helping move foals and of course locating any cat who happend
to slip in to the house and hide. We are privileged to have known
and loved her.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to Michelle Hofmeister.
Michelle is now training out of our stable and is accepting show
prospects for the 2008 show season.

long friendship with Beau and his wife Vicki and they now have
a web site offering a CD with Beau's songs. Please visit beaumelgreen.com - the
CD will be available shortly and there will be more to come in
the future. You will not be disappointed.
