Welcome to Cottonwood Farm
online.
Thank you for visiting our website. 2009 will mark our 25th
anniversary
here at Cottonwood Farm.
On behalf of Sarah, Marty and Terry Hunt we would like to express our
sincere appreciation
to everyone who has been a part of our lives.
Now for a quarter century here at Cottonwood Farm our only goal
has been to breed, raise and sell outstanding
equine athletes. Our plan to accomplish that goal is simply summarized in our
motto -
Over the years we have been blessed with some great stallions,
outstanding broodmares, and a tremendous group of employees who share that
commitment and dedication.
Important Announcement
ANNOUNCEMENT
March 7, 2009
I am sad to
announce that effective immediately, and for at least the next 30 day period,
Cole Muffler will no longer be standing at stud to the general public. As our
friends and customers already know, Cole Muffler has been bravely battling
lameness issues for several years, with the source of his problems tracing all
the way back to his days on the race track. Our long time farm manager, Brent
Johnson has done an outstanding job handling Cole Muffler throughout his
brilliant career as a stallion here at Cottonwood Farm. I would like to publicly
thank Brent for his efforts.
Cole Muffler has
a variety of chronic lameness problems which make it nearly impossible to
pinpoint the precise event which has brought us to this moment. However,
yesterday’s traumatic session in the breeding shed has made an incredibly
difficult decision our only real choice. Obviously we will continue to act in
the best interests of Cole Muffler. We also appreciate our loyal customers who
have booked mares to him for the 2009 season, and want to provide them with
adequate notice to allow them to adjust their breeding plans.
In collaboration
with a team of experts, we will continue to provide Cole Muffler the very best
veterinary medical care possible. Cole Muffler has always given Cottonwood Farm
his very best, and he deserves nothing less from us. Our only goal at this time
is to help make Cole Muffler relatively comfortable again. We will re-evaluate
his condition in 30 days and remain hopeful that he can resume his stallion
career later this spring. However we are advising our customers to consider
alternate plans for breeding their mares this season.
On behalf of
everyone at Cottonwood Farm and Cole Muffler, thank you for your support and
your understanding.
Terry Hunt
President
