The AMS Victory Flag is currently flying in honor of Zach Freedman, Grade 7.

Over the weekend, Zach and his Sheltie, Buddy, earned 2 titles in agility. His MX, which is a Master Standard
agility title, requiring 10 qualifying runs in the Excellent B class (the hardest level possible) and his Open FAST title,
requiring the handler to create and course and the dog to work distances
away from the handler. Both are very impressive, especially for a Junior Handler, like Zach.

Congratulations Zach!

Nicolette Started Under Saddle!

Fran's 3 year old Oldenburg mare "Nikki" is seen here on her 3rd day under saddle. She has been wonderful,
even if she finds the work exhausting! Nikki , by Nilena, was bred by Cornell University - she came to
Flying Change Farm as a weanling and we have been nothing but impressed with her temperament ever since!

Eye Candy Arrives!

After a long haul from Arkansas, Eye Candy arrived safe and sound. She is by Iron Spring Farm's
UB40 and out of EM Wednesday by Weltmeyer. She was bred by Judy Barrett of Ozark Warmbloods.

June Brody & Alix (Allegiance)

Allegiance
2002-2010

With a heavy heart I am sorry to tell you that Alix was humanly euthanized
on February 20, 2010. He was very sick again.

I made the difficult but correct decision to let him have the peace he deserved with dignity
and the respect he was entitled to. He will be missed by ALL who knew him.

Thank you to all who supported Al and me through these past few months.

Dr Michael Fugaro Starts His Own Private Veterinary Practice!
Dr Fugaro will continue to take exceptional care of our horses under the new practice name of
"Mountain Pointe Equine Veterinary Services, LLC" .
It is always exciting to start a new business and we wish him the best of luck!

Winter Wonderland!

Flying Change Farm Hosts Educational Vet Talks

On January 15th, following another great dinner presented by Wendi, Dr Mike Fugaro spoke about maintaining
performance horses. Following clear explanations of arthritis and how joint injections and other techniques can
help, Dr Fugaro answered many questions. This talk was so well received, that I have asked him to return
in March for the second in our educational series of talks. On Friday March 5th, Dr Fugaro will speak on
The Anatomy of the Horse. Hopefully this will help us to understand how some of the most important
structures of the horse work, and how they influence us in our daily riding, training and management of the horses.

Dr. Mike Fugaro graduated from the University of Delaware and then completed his veterinary training at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary
Medicine. Dr. Fugaro completed an internship at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, and a large animal surgical residency at Purdue University.
He is board certified in large animal surgery and a member of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and does surgery at Dr Furlong's and Associates in Oldwick, NJ.
