Thanks Gerry - PayPal had everyone "upgrade" their payment buttons, and it appears the upgrade doesn't like our website frames. I'm hoping our web person can figure out the tangle of html code. Lord knows I tried "hacking" away at it and I turned the page into a jumble so I had to restore the page f...

Almata was donated to The Exceller Fund 4 years ago, and her son was donated to The Exceller Fund earlier this year when his racing career was over. I got a call from Lucky's foster this mor...

Marli - What a bittersweat end. Bitter since any loss is always hard, but sweat because she went on her own terms with dignity and knew love and kindness for her remaining years.

Eye Pea Oh is home from the vet clinic today! He is to remain on turnout in a small paddock for the next two months, and no grain for 7 more days. His recovery to normal is expected to take at least 2 months. During that time, the foster will check him to be sure he is drinking adequate amounts of w...
