I guess money wasn't everything to her - the right loving home was what she was really looking for SEDONA.

I rode her for well over an hour yesterday.. including saddling up and riding her around the immediate neighboorhood last night.. (2 rides). At the weather was very wierd because of huricane Linda.. all the other horses were very high, etc.. not Tush. :) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: EDM00005 Date: 09/15/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 06:35pm \/To: JEAN PROPHET (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: SADDLEBRED Horses ... >> The one Saddlebred mare I was riding for a bit this year >> was settling down really nice and starting to work very >> nicely.

Wellllll the kid has been pushing a bit lately.. so she's gotten smacked a few times (open handed get your attention type). My problem is that she's not only smart and able to figure things out very quickly.. she's also very lazy and a touch opinionated. ;) We had a very serious hour long session about trailer loading this weekend. She hasn't been in one on 2 years.. and she was high. Didn't have a chance to turn her out before hand so we just dealt with it. Used the tried and true method.. except when she discovered a hay net that had some feed in it.. she spooked herself on that one. ;) > BK :>Great!

Good to hear! :) We were running around trying to get ready for Linda, which luckily turned west on us.. the predictions were ugly.. I had a trunk full of sandbags yesterday before I went to the stables. Weather is just HOT and HUMID right now. We're consistenly running in the 150 bracket.

Hi Jean, JP> Just checking -- wondering if the link was broken again -- there hasn't JP> been many messages in this area lately Little arriving here (UK) either. AYK, this used to be very lively a few years ago. Keep meaning to ask locally about the horse 'snapping' when its girth (cinch) is tightened. I've never come across it before, though I've known horses 'learning' to weave from other horses. I rather like the quiet echoes, but certainly not *this* quiet. All the best to you and your gee-gees. Dave --- ViaMAIL!/WC4 v1.30 * Origin: Ooh!, London - Free E-Mail/UseNet - 0181 395 3108 (2:254/233)
