  The azaleas are blooming, the grass is green, and the barn is full of horses.  We've planted our summer flower pots and hung out the ferns. We've got a beautiful spring on our hands.

  The farm staff are shuttling horses out to pasture and back, working around the training schedule.  The trick is to have the right horses in the barn ready for training at the right times.
