“ONE BAD APPLE don’t spoil the whole bunch girl!” Today’s column is about reminding folks NOT to feed a horse they don’t own. Apples are on my mind because they’re commonly thrown over fences to horses by strangers, so naturally it prompted one of my favorite songs from my early teens to start playing in my mind: “One Bad Apple” by the Osmonds was No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1971.
SPLAWN LIVES! IN my April 22 column I mentioned how we horse owners missed the dedication and service provided by the now retired Drs. Bob Mowbray and Eric Splawn, adding Dr. Splawn had since past away from cancer. I’m so happy to say I was wrong! Reader Carol Johnson contacted me to say Dr. Splawn actually beat his cancer and is alive and well living in Florida with his wife Peggy! Carol shared how Dr. Splawn had a good laugh over my mistakenly saying he died.
