What's New at Carey's Bunny Barn

What's New?!

Hi Everybody!

There have been lots of fun shows! AZ State Convention and the quad show in Tulare to name a couple! It does help when you are in good company, though!! ;-)
I also recently passed my ARBA Rabbit Registrar's test and now have to work under 3 judges and a registrar to finish my requirements.
I am currently taking new pictures and updating my website. Take a look around, there are a few new pictures here and there!
We've had A LOT going on lately, so please, forgive me for the lack of updates! :) Bunnies, horses, school, playing show secretary, lots of shows... it all keeps me on the run!
