Well, the cold weather seems to be upon us and we all know what that means... breeding season is just around the corner.  We're already on our way to a great breeding season for 2005.  Thank you to all who have confirmed breeding to Medallion - he'll be a busy boy!  Not to worry though, there is still plenty of time to get your Breeding Contracts in for those who haven't done so yet.  Breeding season will tentatively begin in April and close in September.  We will always try to accommodate anyone requiring an extension as best as we can.

VIDEO AVAILABLE!

As I had mentioned in the previous newsletter, we purchased a new video camera.  After much waiting for the weather to clear, paddocks to dry, and fussing with cables and computer crashes, we finally have a new video of Medallion.  I will be sending videos out this week to those who have already made the request.  If you would like a copy, please e-mail me with your address.  The videos are available as a CD to be played on your computer (CD-ROM).  If you need VHS, you'll have to hold out a little longer until I can figure out how to do the conversion.  Love technology! 

Please keep in mind that the paddocks are a bit muddy in the video and Medallion is lighter because of his winter coat.  He was enjoying himself quite a bit at first as he was showing off to the other horses and his audience on the sideline.  But after half an hour of work, all he wanted was for that annoying whip to stop bugging him so he could come over and get some pets for being such a good boy!

NEW E-MAIL

Please be advised that we have changed our main e-mail address.  Recently, my e-mail address, stables@superiorhorse.net, found it's way onto a massive virus-spaming account.  Currently, I receive in excess of 100 virus-containing e-mails EACH DAY that are luckily quarantined by Norton... so far.  To protect your computer, and mine as well, I have changed our business e-mail to stable@superiorhorse.net (singular spelling of stable's').  In order to prevent this from occurring again, I have removed the active links to any e-mail addresses from the website (the user would have to cut and paste the e-mail address into their mail program).

Prior to this massive virus attack, I had also set up a "fake" account for AAA@AAAAA.COM.  I had been told that if my computer were to be infected, this would stop the spread of the virus by e-mail as the aforementioned e-mail address is invalid.  I would suggest that you do the same to protect your e-mail contacts from a similar fate as my e-mail address. 

I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
