That's why I've been riding Shammie ..... she's "safe" and I don't feel intimidated by her. Buddy will hitch X to the carriage and I'll ride Sham. I'm just taking it a little at a time. I am riding X now more and more.....I'm trying to stay calm.

Stands to reason that he would get keyed up about things easier than a more cold-blooded horse (like Mike May's Fjord Malla, to pick an extreme example). No slander against Arabs intended here -- I think they are super horses -- but as a fellow hot-blooded creature, I have to come to X's defense. --- Opus-CBCS 1.73a * Origin: Sci-Fido II, World's Oldest SF BBS, Berkeley, CA (1:161/84.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1J00001 Date: 01/14/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 06:10am \/To: VICKI NICHOLS (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: snowbirds > -> MM> Someone told me just yesterday that they had > -> MM> heard it MM> had snowed in > -> Phoenix!

I've had a Harley.. and I respect Harley riders, but if I ever had then inclination to have a bike again.. it would most likely be another Norton.

Yep, Sonny loved to jump also.. although not on that scale.. he just loved to jump over things on the trail.

Ahh Mike is out here right now Deb.. and getting wet. ;) I beleive he's either up the coast with his Mom or they went up to Lancaster and that general direction.. He wanted to get some quiet/quality time in with his Mom.. I on the other hand feel somewhat stood up! ;) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861)
