Last year I wrote a couple articles about my young stud horse named Hollywoods Bandit and the events that had taken place in his early years. The first article being https://cavvysavvy.tsln.com/blog/hollywoods-bandit/ And the second article being https://cavvysavvy.tsln.com/blog/hollywoods-bandit-continued/ A lot has happened since the last article about Bandit. So I figured I could fill you in on his […]
