There's bureaucratic crap in both countries, but it seems like Poland may be a bit easier for him. However, he's putting in more hours than ever. :-(Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-12840906243353452662014-04-03T08:39:02.385-04:002014-04-03T08:39:02.385-04:00Oh how the time passes!

I didn't spend much time in Poland-just a short visit. In both places, I spent time visiting Arabian farms, all owned by the states (countries). Fantastic horses, some of the best and beautiful in the world.Pam Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350359441195488978noreply@blogger.com
