SPRING TUNE-UP - Rumeur
Ann Sanders’ big handsome Westphalian gelding Rumeur came for his spring tune-up. Ann has her own indoor arena at home where she keeps him, so Rumeur stays in work over the winter, but Ann has caught the ’show bug’ and is getting a jump start on her lessons for the season. Great to see them both again!

PRESS REPORT - Sue Bassin quoted in the Independent
The Country Life section of the Independent reported on the recent outbreak of equine herpes, ”Will a deadly virus cast a shadow over the horse world?” This virus, EHV-1, is especially worrisome because as a neurologic strain, it can be deadly and highly contagious. Sue reported that in response to this threat, Cricket Hill had switched their regular rhinopneumonitis vaccinations to a type that is reported to give better protection against this strain and is requiring horses coming into the farm to be similarly protected. Horses leaving the farm for shows or clinics will have a booster shot this spring. Cricket Hill has never had any cases of this disease and wants to keep it that way!

SPRING TUNE-UP - Giselle
Stella Goulet sent her wonderful thoroughbred mare to Cricket Hill for a Spring Tune-up. Giselle usually trail rides in the winter, but as Stella and Giselle are eventers, a serious reintroduction to spring training was in order. Stella is aiming at the first dressage show of the season next month.
