Meet Athena, our January Patient of the Month! She is my tallest patient by far! She's a draft cross off a ranch in Texas who is kind, cuddly and has impeccable manners at home (she doesn't p**p or p*e in her stall or in the trailer!) and she stands very nicely for her treatments! She's loved and cared for by Gail Deal . Everyone say Hi to her!
