DT :>I made the mistake of wearing a long sleeve shirt out to DT :>the barn today. DT :>It was in the 70's today with lots of sun. We spent quite DT :>a bit of time DT :>useing a shedding blade. One of the women out at the barn DT :>gave her DT :>horse a bath. I'm going to pay for the amount of time I DT :>spent riding DT :>the last 2 days tommorrow and the next day. It was DT :>WONDERFUL DT :>riding weather and the ground was dry enough on the ranch DT :>in most places DT :>that we didn't have to worry about footing. The horses DT :>seemed to really DT :>enjoy getting out too. Normally I'd tell you to "shut up"! But, yesterday here was gorgeous! It was in the low 40's with plenty of sun and no wind! Worked Fiddle and she did well, lunged Shiloh in the a.m. to take the edge off, and gave a lesson in the afternoon. It was, all in all, a great day! I'll take this any time!

I can't imagine being more concerned with DT :>looks than with DT :>safety. Especially when its not your life and future. In Well, there are enough trainers out there who are more concerned with their students winning than with their safety...kinda makes you want to puke! DT :>They put up some big stalls/pens out at the barn this DT :>weekend for some DT :>of the bigger horses. They look like they are about 12' x DT :>24' and half DT :>covered and half full. They put up 4 and filled 2. Sounds nice! 12x24 is huge! How BIG are these horses (g)?

Good for you, Jan! Hi!, BTW. Miss you! I've got another easy, low fat chicken recipe for you...I'll netmail it one of these days (g)! I keep hearing about Equine-L, but can't find it anywhere. Not even sure what it is! The only reason Richard is keeping the BBS going is for Equus. Don't know what I'll do if he decides to can the thing. The computer we run it on is getting kinda old, and when (or if) it goes, I think that will be it.
