Needy Nags
Looking for a mare
that is smart, forward
thinking, forward moving
and has already started
to show a talent for
jumping? Then Affair to
Remember might be what
you are looking for. She
is a typical Thoroughbred
mare in that she is an
overachiever and thinks
too far ahead of what is
being asked of her, but
she tries hard if the rider is
constant, patient and clear
with training methods. Her
first time over a small jump
proved to be so uneventful and easy for her that she may be one of those horses that doesn’t
really have to try until the fences get bigger. She definitely needs work on the flat but looks like
she might be most suitable for the jumper divisions. She has no vices and is suitable for any
discipline, but will be for an intermediate level rider and up.

Mutt of the
Month
Blue has been with
the SPCA since he was
a puppy. Nearly a year
old now, Blue could be
described as the sweet,
energetic, affectionate
class clown. Although he
appears to be a hound mix,
Blue is not especially nose-
driven, preferring instead to
run and play with anyone
who shows an interest in
him. Blue has a great auto-
sit and walks well on a
leash. He is quick to learn
new behaviors but is still
puppyish in that he can
be easily distracted. Our
hope is that Blue will go to
an active home where he
can be included in family
activities. Consistency and
knowing what to expect
will go a long way toward
helping Blue grow into
the great dog we know he
can be! Blue is neutered,
current on vaccinations,
microchipped and available
for a $75 adoption fee from
the Aiken SPCA Albrecht
Center for Animal Welfare,
in Aiken, South Carolina.
