Hi,
I will definatley contact Lisa Williams! I want to do whats right but it
seems very overwhelming until I get the exact recipe so to say.I will
also dig in those websites.
My trimmer is Nancy Naill Frishkorn her website is
www.hocuzpocuz-equine.com her training background is AANHCP.
I will take pictures tomorrow to share :)!
Thanks sooo much for your willingness to help!
Rachel
