Distinguished Gentleman


Tanzar and Emmit are the old men of the farm. Both were born in Feb., so they are approaching 27 & 31 respectively. Both horses are having difficulty keeping weight, Emmit has melanomas and Tanzar has really bad lower legs. He has foundered from lack of blood-flow and his rear fetlocks are the size of grapefruit and dragging the ground. With all their problems the old boys are still engaged and interested, which makes it hard to consider the coming of winter and the reality that brings.
