Some of you long-time customers will remember the days when we were based in Redmond, WA. My late husband, Bud Wrona, mainly operated the business then and I helped him out. He also wrote articles for the local paper, in a column titled Off the Hoof, to help educate the community on, mainly, the proper care and feeding of horses.
I don't know why, but I saved many of these articles -- kept them neatly packed in a box and stored in an out-of-the-way place. In fact, they had been so much out of the way that I had nearly forgotten about them. It was only as part of my effort to get our website built that I remembered and uncovered them.

It was very fun, and educating I might add, to go back and read these articles. I would like to share them now with you. I will be publishing one article a week for as many of these as we have in a series that we will also call Off the Hoof. I hope you read, enjoy, learn, and share!
