The
exciting news at Applewood is that Michelle Gibson's new stallion,
World of Dreams, finally arrived and he is beautiful. After
over 7 weeks in quarantine, Michelle finally got the phone call
that all the tests were complete. After so many shipping
companies, for the last leg of his journey, Michelle drove her
Sundowner up to the Virginia facility and picked him up herself.
They had a smooth trip.
Tired, hot, and sweaty after a 9
hour trip...

After
a few days of rest, World of Dreams is feeling good. He has
settled right in to the routine at the barn, and is a real
gentleman.
Marki,
Michelle's boarder collie, had to accept the new member of the
family and was so funny running quick circles around and around
World of Dreams and Michelle.
