Bob just got his daughter a Welsh-Appie Pony that just foaled.. Bob's a good guy when he's not out causing problems in the net.. ;) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E3A00001 Date: 03/05/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 02:06am \/To: DEBBY TAYLOR (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Tom Dorrance > -> Ride?

Yep, and hopefully hear everything! :) It's also the way I watched Perrelli (hack spit) three times and got totally disgusted with him. Horsemanship to Perrelli is showmanship. :( BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E3A00002 Date: 03/05/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 02:07am \/To: DEBBY TAYLOR (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Bowed legs & Sand Col > -> Old message.. but let me know if you want..

They get to the barn late and we usually ride early. No sweat.. happy to grab a handfull and send it up so they know what it looks like.. horses like it a lot better then that ugly straw type oat hay.. In fact the mare next to CJ loves to try and sneak some away as she can.. ;) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E3A00003 Date: 03/05/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 02:11am \/To: DEBBY TAYLOR (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: enteroliths > -> Learn to watch her real closely.. a lot of horses will give you some > -> indication of what they're about to do.. when she does start with > -> something like this.. jiggle the lunge line and bring her attention > -> back to you. > She tells us she is going to do something.

Ahhh one of those.. chuckle.. well I'm running on about 3 hours of sleep.. and I still rode both CJ and Straw tonight.. I rode CJ for at least 20 minutes mainly at an extended trot.. it wasn't a great ride.. and I had to take a minute to figure it out since I was so tired.. However I didn't even get the edge off CJ.. chuckle.. typical CJ.. takes her about ohhh 5 seconds to get back in shape. ;) She now loves Straw since she's been a tad jealous about Straw and Tush.. I let her play noseys with Straw when she's turned out and Straw is tied up getting groomed.. He really likes her.. in fact he dropped tonight.. I'm sure it didn't help the ride much since I think it helped her come into heat.. ;) And I HAVE to remember to find Tush's training bit.. got to get that back in her mouth.. haven't done it in awhile..

Well the TB is my mare's next door neighbor.. CJ is my mare.. She's a Palomino Quarter horse (Skipper W) that was an abused horse that took about 5 years to settle down.. now she's a retired 4 time state champion and 5 time national honor roll horse - PHBA and mother of Tush.. :) Tush is also Palomino.. she's Skipper W - Zippo Pine Bar with a tiny dash of Impressive in her.

It's a top flight clinic that you can only use by Vet referal.. at minimum on a par with Alamo Pintada that Karen used to talk about. We'll see.. they took her off the additives and the "episodes" seemed to taper off.. however that doesn't explain some other stuff going on.. but I have great faith in SLR.. they do exceptional work there and have the kind of euqiment you'd expect to see only at a place like Cornell or UC Davis... inlduing nuclear medicine for horses.
