Raymond Arrives!


Raymond (Reyezuelo IV) , the new arrival to Fairview Farm! Raymond is Anthony's first foal, born last year and now a strapping yearling. I have bought him from the breeder and he will stay here at Fairview Farm and hopefully be as successful as his Dad. He has the sweetest temperament, not coltish at all, and is out enjoying the spring grass and sunshine with a semi retired TB, who is just grumpy enough to keep him in line.
He leads nicely in the halter, but we need to do a little work with him over the summer to teach him to tie up, stand for the farrier and generally teach him good manners in and out of the stable. He is very trusting and good to handle so I expect he will learn very quickly.
