Always nice to hear about an x-racehorse going to a -> good home and not to the killers. Lots and lots of them around here. -> Trained right and in the right hands, they make great horses. There are a lot of x-racehorses at our barn too. Diva is one and we got her from the killers but she is doing great. This winter while our trainer is getting her other knee replaced we are doing mostly ground work on her. Lots of lungeline and ground driving. We can really see a lot of progress. Its a lot of fun to watch her figure things out. -> some pressure on her upper nose. Not quite sure why you're getting -> the response you're getting. You don't buckle it OVER the cheek -> pieces, do you? She may be able to feel the difference, several of the horses on the ranch act differently in different kinds of tack. -> green horse. BTW, my husband, RICHARD the BIG HEART, had a headstone -> made for me for Christmas for Thistle's grave. It's beautiful, pink -> granite with ahorsehead and Thistle's name on it. We're going to lay -> it flush with the ground so the grass will grow around it and we can -> just mow over it. We're having somewhat of a thaw here this week, so -> I hope we can get it in today or tomorrow. The guy who did it is a -> friend of ours, and when he found out what Richard wanted, he refused -> to charge him for it! So I feel twice blessed. Oh how lovely. It sounds though like there are two men with big hearts though.

Maybe when the weather is WARMER; at the moment it is in the forties up there and that's too cold for this desert rat! Seriously, I would go if I were in the market for another horse as that's one breed I believe I could fall in love with. That's the problem - FOUR HORSES? We don't ride the three we have enough! Guess I COULD throw it in the back yard, call it a German Shepherd, and let the kids in the neighborhood play with him! --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: ElseWhere (1:114/212) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1200029 Date: 12/31/96 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 08:42pm \/To: MIKE MAY (Read 1 times) Subj: Test -> MM> Well i have made mine! -> MM> Reservations that is... -> Okay - I promise you a steak dinner at the cowboy -> bar of your choice!
