Boyd and Silva Martin’s second son, Leo, is one week and one day old today. It’s been a tough introduction to the world for the little guy but we’re glad to hear he’s making progress. Silva is also recovering well from the c-section, though it can be difficult for active equestrians to slow down and take it easy (don’t we know it). Read more of Silva’s latest update here.
