VN :> Hey, Meg, I saw an envelope with your return address VN :>on it the day that I had some people come and clean both VN :>houses - cleaning isn't my forte so it was easier to have VN :>someone come in. Anyway, it got moved and now I can't find VN :>it but I will continue looking for it. I am NOT ignoring VN :>it! No problem. Was just wondering how you were doing. Did Barbara give you the message I called a while back? VN :> Right now, my neighbor across the street is riding VN :>Spot - she has a Russian Arab gelding with quite an VN :>attitude so it is a treat for her to be able to ride a VN :>horse you can almost fall asleep on. She also gives her VN :>kids rides when she is done - I was tickled pink last week Ah! Like Shiloh and Fiddle! Glad Spot has new friends (g). VN :> Speaking of whom, he is looking really good - I think VN :>a LOT of it is Kathryn's damn LONG LEGS! She not only is a Oh, yes....those long legs! As I recall one of our conversations, you and I were going to return in our next life as tall, skinny, and with loooong rider's legs (g). VN :>terrific trainer (taught by Mrs. Braswell) but has long How is Mrs. Braswell? Glad you've got someone she taught working Dub. And...don't be afraid to ride him ! There's nothing worse than a horse who will go well for only one rider! And if he's getting trained well, riding him will only do your riding skills a ton of good! VN :> How are your two wild ones doing? Is it getting warm VN :>enough to ride yet? Fiddle's fine. Been working on her canter (when it isn't raining), and taking her out and about the yard and street near the house. She's doing quite well! Shiloh, on the other hand, developed a huge stone bruise on her right front sole, so she's been out of commission for a couple of weeks. It's healing slowly...driving me nuts! The weather is finally pretty good, and the kids are eager to ride...but now we've got this to contend with! Geesh! Fiddle's doing so well, BTW, that I'm considering using her towards the end of the summer for some of the kids who's skills are good enough. God knows, she could use the attention. VN :> More later - is something wrong with our feed or is VN :>the traffic down? Way down. Can't tell you how glad I am to see you back!!! Hope things are going OK. In case you can't find that envelope (g), my address is 411 Linebrook Road, Ipswich, MA 01938. Do you have netmail capability? Or an e-mail address? Carrots to Spot and Dub! Sounds like you're all enjoying your new neighborhood!!

I was talking to someone the other day and mentioned that Fiddle was 5. We both sort of stopped and looked at each other and simultaneously said, "She can't be 5!". I don't know where the time has gone! I've been having flashbacks to my "babies in training" idea...God, what I wouldn't give for more land and a bigger barn!!! Might be going to a show this weekend to help out the girl who mucks my stalls. She has an 11 year old warmblood who's only been to one show (last weekend). She placed 3rd out of 23 in an adult eq. class. However, the poor kid went all by herself, and found it amazingly difficult to show without any help at all (g). So, I offered to go to the next one with her and act as groom...I can feel that show blood coursing through my veins already (VGB). Someone say something sensible here! Like...you're too old, Fiddle's never been in a trailer, she's not fully trained yet...come on you guys! Wonder if there's a 12-step program for horseshow addiction....HELP!!! Just think...this time next year...you and the Tushster!

I've been trying to get hold of the lady that you are suppose to contact about the Dorrance clinic with no luck. I finally left a message with Dr. Deb. She is generally pretty good about getting back to people. I've never been to this location and thought it might be a good idea to get directions or something on how to find it.
