I’ll admit it. I feed my mare way too many cookies. I am however, NOT, nor have I ever been, the resident cookie-monster of the barn who indiscriminately feeds cookies, carrots and other goodies to every single horse on the property. (That would get expensive!) I must admit though, that there are some horses out there that are high on my personal “should I encounter you, I would like to give you a cookie and a pat because you are consistently awesome” list. Reggie is one of them. What other 4* horses are quiet enough to let a goofy kid wander around on them bareback in a halter and participate in a wedding?

Earlier this week, Gateway Farm in Acampo, Calif went up in flames. The crew at Gateway Farm ultimately lost one horse, BGS Silver Bullet, and everything from the barn.  The barn housed the tack room as well as the office. Gateway Farm has been strong supporters of Pony Club, as the home to the Liberty Oaks Pony club. Much of the California horse community has rallied around them at this very sad time. A GoFundMe account has been set up to assist Gateway Farm in replacing tack and other equipment that was lost.
