Sham, PATTI and Tuffy stood really still -- PATTI was the best of all (and she's the psyco one ). X, on the other hand was really bad!! He finally had to be sedated (and our vet, Lucy, does NOT like to sedate horses for much of anything she does). PATTI even helps -- she pulls her tongue aside and moves her head up and down .... it's the funniest thing --- * Origin: Home of Mr X's 'Xtraordinary Carriage Services (1:371/33) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: EAY00014 Date: 06/26/97 From: JEAN PROPHET Time: 06:19am \/To: BOB KOHL (Read 0 times) Subj: Nuttin' ... >> the Coggins test ..... will have the results in about a week but there's >> no doubt in my mind that it'll be negative as it should be.

That's the biggest problem with her ..... she just to unpredictable .....and, she's sooooo smart -- and she CAN perform really nice. I just do NOT trust her totally (and, she probably does NOT totally trust me either). She may NEVER trust anyone totally ..... that's how abused she was when she was younger . It's just very sad how she was treated for the first couple of years of her young life. She certainly has come a long way though .... you just NEVER take any short cuts with her though ..... --- * Origin: Home of Mr X's 'Xtraordinary Carriage Services (1:371/33) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: EAY00019 Date: 06/27/97 From: JEAN PROPHET Time: 06:27am \/To: MEG ALFONI (Read 0 times) Subj: Tush-mania > How tight do you tie her down?

I used the running martingale on Daisy when I trained her, Meg ...... martingales are not allowed to be used in the shows. The horses learn pretty fast that if they keep their heads down in position it doesn't pull on them ..... it's just a training method to teach them to set their heads in the proper position. --- * Origin: Home of Mr X's 'Xtraordinary Carriage Services (1:371/33) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: EAY00020 Date: 06/28/97 From: JEAN PROPHET Time: 06:25am \/To: MEG ALFONI (Read 0 times) Subj: Fiddle >-> She came up lame about a week and 1/2 ago.
