And good news from the webmaster of the ACPS. She has been receiving many notes such as these: "Thank you!!!!!!! The website generated more interest in these two than my other ads!! The article in Young Rider magazine was the clincher for my buyer, it sent her to the site to look for a Connemara!" "First THANK YOU for putting Lily on your web site. She found a new home right away."
