"Thank you-thank you-thank you for bringing HCW to San Juan County. Your thoughtful presentation and well-produced materials were inspiring. I brought extra publications to Lopez [Island] neighbor horse owners who could not attend, so the gospel of HCW is spreading here. Wanted to let you know I was able to put some HCW ideas to work right away...Thank you for sharing your personal journey to better horse-keeping and making it available to the rest of us!" ~ Ruthie Thompson-Klein, Lopez Island
