Tres Percherons

First day out of the barn. Ulysses and Lulabelle.

Sunday we welcomed Fischer Farms Jane into our herd. This seasoned lady is Isabella's first draft. She and Captain Ahab have been inseparable, save for a hot fence, since her arrival. I can't think of a better mare to fill the literal and figurative role of "first draft" for Izzy. Thanks to Kyle Dudek and family for all you have done.

Our darling boy, Captain Jack (f/k/a Cooper by the sponsor who bailed) is in need of a new sponsor, right after this brilliant 6 year old lad received his officer's badge. For the small price of $5k/year, you get naming rights and a tax write off. I would consider it a personal favor if any potential sponsor who receives this story, seriously changing his name from Cooper to anything but. He weighs nearly 2000 # and stands at an honest 18hh. Sponsors also receive more publicity for this humanitarian gesture. Capt. Jack loves water, swimming and gets along great with kids so it's pretty rewarding to see this big fella periodically in the news, even if it is for getting ditched.
