Ahhh.. you behind da loop Deb.. ;) She's being ridden carefully.. I backed off and stepped her backwards since I couldn't find my training bit.. saddled her back up and rode her the other night for a bit.. it's real slow and careful for at least the first 30 days.. however both girls get a week off starting on Sat. She's now moving very solidly.. making me more inclined to ride her a bit more each time. THe first 5 or so rides were a bit shakey... she still really needs to figure out her feet with the load on her back. ;) I haven't done much with her the past two days.. she ran a real mild temp the other day so she got some time off.. I figure it was either coming into or going out of a heat.. or maybe teething.. who knows.. but I wasn't going to take the chance. She seemed fine tonight when I went to check on them before coming home. > How old is she now? 2. :) And registered. :) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E4F00010 Date: 04/10/97 From: MEG ALFONI Time: 07:44am \/To: BOB KOHL (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: lipizzans 1 BK :>My pleasure Karin.. really nice of you to dig that stuff up BK :>again.
