Joy is what I felt when I went to the barn today and    there was an old friend!



 A good groom is essential to any Hunter Jumper Barn and  this guy is a great one! Efrin Hernandez- Though he still has family in Mexico he has "family" here. Welcome Home Efrin! Love that smile you always have!

    just a little tid bit of info for the gang- Some may remember Secretariat ? His groom Eddie Sweat was with him more than anyone else.  "With horses you got to love 'em and talk to 'em . Get to know 'em. You love 'em and they love you too. " "People might call me crazy but that the way it is. Ive been on the racetrack 34 years"- Eddie Sweat -groom to Secretariat.  quote taken from -"Nobody Knows Their Names"  William Nack story for Sports Illustrated.

Efrin Hernandez was born on a ranch in Mexico and helped work it from the time he could walk. While Efrin was a young teenager his Father died and Efrin came to the U.S. to live and work with relatives.
