Another new horse owner

We would like to congratulate Julie on her purchase of Kolt! She bought him January 2, 2009.
So far she seems to be enjoying riding, grooming, petting and walking him around. Kolt didn't have any adjustment to make to living at Gusty Wind Acres Riding School, Inc because he has been a resident here for a number of years.
