This year we are celebrating what may be Yukon’s 35th birthday. We think.
We aren’t sure how old he is, but we know he doesn’t have a whole lot of teeth left and the last time we took him to the vet, the vet said Yukon was close to 30.
He still works a little in our string, the walking does him good and he seems to enjoy socializing with people. He has a penchant for the younger riders and he’s extra careful with them.

You haven’t had your heart melted into a blob of goo until you’ve seen Yukon introduce himself to a baby or toddler. He gently sniffs and nuzzles, with his ears forward and his eyes as soft as a doe’s. He’s a kind soul.
If I were going to clone a horse, it’d be Yukon. Don’t tell Wrigley and Axel I said that.

Since we won’t be cloning him, help us celebrate him and wish him a happy-maybe-birthday on Thursday, May 3rd at 3 p.m.
He’ll enjoy a carrot cake and we’ll have some cake and ice cream to share.
Yukon leading the pack.
Yukon will be thrilled just to visit with you. If you’d like to bring him treats, please make sure it’s no solids (things like grated carrots and apples or softened pellets are okay).
