OklahomaHorses Magazine January 2021

4 OklahomaHorses • January/February 2021 Welcome to 2021! There’s reason to celebrate 2021 just for the fact it’s not 2020—am I right? And welcome to our first issue of 2021. We’ve got a great mix of stories to educate and entertain you. An especially cute addition here is Emily Holloman’s first encounter with a horse. I’m sure all of you horse lovers out there remember your first en- counter. Did you have horses galloping in your stomach from nervousness? An aspiring writer, Emily describes her first ride. We applaud her courage to both ride and write about her experience. Kudos to you, Emily, and it’s obvious you’re a lifelong animal lover! On the health front, you can read all about colic workups and the impor- tance of equine dental health. You will also learn about the Bureau of Land Management’s majestic mustangs in these pages. Plus, Attorney Mary Westman informs us on the legalities of registering horse trailers—pertinent info whether you plan to haul within the state or across the country. So we’re kicking off 2021 with these great stories and many more (be sure to read cover to cover to enjoy it all). Truly, we wish everyone a happy, healthy 2021! Please remember to stay safe and wear your masks until we’ve overcome this pandemic.
