Hanoverian Espresso by Earl, Update

We’re on a roll with updates..Mike Boyd sent me an update on Espresso by Earl.

Espresso by Earl, Spring '08

I am attaching a photo of Espresso taken when he was just about four this spring. I used this photo for his Equine Canada passport. It is mid April I think and we had a little late snow on the ground. He had a very good year competing in the four year old jumper development classes. He is supposed to go to Florida for the winter.

Some of you might remember his story. Close to five years ago, I was called up by Mike, to visit his farm just north of Guelph. His mare Remy, had foaled.  The morning before, another mare on the property foaled.  Tragically, she died as a result of the birth. On the day of my farm visit, Mike’s mare Remy, was nursing both foals. She had accepted the orphan foal as her own. It was truly inspiring to see such a sight. Aren’t mares great
