BARN NOTES
Please put away your blankets that are not being used. The aisle way is very untidy right now. If they are not taken care of by month’s end we will send them for cleaning so you can store them and you will be charged. We have tried other methods to clean up this area, but they have not worked.
NOTABLE QUOTES & LAUGHS
War has not just affected man greatly.
“In those far-off unmechanized days, suffering by horses in the pursuit of men’s bitter quarrels was taken for granted. Horses have died in their unrecorded millions in the service of their country for the first Calvary, scaling the rocks of Spain and Portugal in support of Hannibal to the selfless sacrifice of the British horses which galloped into the Russian guns.” Sylvia Loch
“In grateful and reverent memory of the Empire’s horses (some 375,000) who fell in the Great War (1914-1918). Most obediently and often most painfully they died.” Memorial at Church of St. Jude, London
