13.0. "Southern Horsekeeping" by ATLAST::KELLY () Fri Jun 20 1986 14:28

    Hello,
    
    Are there any Southern riders reading this notes file? We
    are located in Charlotte, NC and are interested in local
    news such as vets, farriers, instructors, shows, clubs, etc.
    that are mentioned in this file for the MASS. area. We would
    like to read and post information, but we are not sure that it
    would be appreciated by the general notes file community.

13.4Hello Charlotte!!!!MERIDN::IZZOWed Jun 25 1986 18:3310
    Hi folks!
    
    I live in Connecticut now, but I grew up in Charlotte!  Where do
    you ride?  A hundred years ago when I first learned to ride, it
    was at Cedar Hill Farm in Matthews - Nora Cooke owns it.  Boy do
    I miss the NC winters and showing at "the hounds".
    
    Say hi to Lee Brodeur for me!

13.5Riding in the SouthATLAST::WAYERTue Jul 01 1986 16:447
    Hi 
    
    We board our horses at C & R stables in Charlotte, we also take
    lessons at the stable.  We would love to ride in Latta Park
    but we don't have access to a horse trailer.

    We breed, raise and show Quarter Horses (Joe Cody line along with
    Native Sport).  We live (and work unfortunately) in Huntsville,
    Alabama. (Not that working or living in Huntsville is bad but working 
    in general takes up my time).
13.8A NEW EQUINE HOSPITAL IN GEORGIASAHQ::STURTEVANTTue May 30 1989 15:2219
      
    There will soon be a new equine medical and surgical center near
    Atlanta, GA to supplement the excellent University of Georgia 
    vet hospital.
    
    A vet has moved to the area from Lexington, where he was heavily
    involved with the racing stables.  We had heard of him and called
    him one Saturday for an emergency - he was great!  Very knowledgeable,
    good with the horses, and the kind of vet who actually LIKES to
    take the time to talk to the owner about what the alternatives are
    as far as diagnosis, treatment, etc.  
    
    His goal is not to replace your local vet, but to act as a referral
    point for problems not treatable out of the back of a truck.  He
    has surgical facilities, laser equipment, etc.  He also plans to
    sponsor seminars for horse owners. 
    
    I recommend him highly.  His name is Scott Hancock, phone number
    is 404-945-9555.
