Approximately two weeks ago the owner and trainer of Southern Serenity Ranch, Howard Hamilton, suffered a mild stroke. He was hospitalized for three days and is now home and doing well. The type of injury to his brain affected his balance, but his doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Hamilton's daughter, Lauren stated that his recovery will take time and he is currently taking therapy to continue to improve. "We are blessed to be a part of such a caring and loving breed. We have appreciated all the calls of concern and the continued prayers," said Lauren.

Cards of encouragement may be sent to 590 Parker Store Road Cedar Grove, TN 38321

Our thoughts and prayers are with Hamilton family.
