Suzanna M. Mattsen, from Larsen, WI, sent us the following email regarding her horse A King Flying, purchased through CANTER.

My daughter Victoria, an AREA IV Young Rider purchased "A KING FLYING" last fall. We purchased him knowing he had a bone spur and an old Slab Fracture that is totally healed. Our vet said that there was no reason he would not stay sound for Dressage and some Jumping. 

I fell in love with him and purchased him from my daughter. He is now my Best Friend and Dressage Partner! We are a Private Eventing/Dressage Stable in Wisconsin.

DTR's FREDRICK (his new name) has his own page on our Web Site. We invite all to MEET FRED! We so bly believe in your program that we have a direct link to Illinois Canter on Freds Page!

There is No Heart Bigger than a Thoroughbreds! Please give these horses another chance at life, they've done their best at racing and you'll find they give more than 100% in their new discipline. Stop by and Visit DTR's FREDRICK!

You can see photos of "Fred" at Dreams to Reality Stable.
