Hi, So nice to speak with those who have these wonderful animals, when I talk "horse" to others, I am perceived a little "nuts". Anyway, I have had some experience driving myself, altho' I must say, it has been "years". I had a 2-year old Arab gelding we decided to have trained, and after his 1st 30 days, I began as well. It proved extremely rewarding and quite a confidence builder. I competed in a few amateur classes and won. This gelding was such a character, but he was our 1st foal and I believe he thought he was human. I ride occasionally, but I guess the guys I have now could be considered my pets, or better yet, my companions. Today I want nothing more than to enjoy them along with a great Scottie dog and 3 notorious cats. Such a life!

X is STILL jealous as heck -- but now I have another problem -- SEDONA is jealous as heck of X ..... I rode X this evening (after taking SEDONA everynight for the past week out driving). When I got back to the barn with X, SEDONA wouldn't even LOOK my way -- she pinned her ears back and gave me "that look" .... when I offered her a carrot, she actally snatched it out of my hand. She finally got over it but I am really going to have my hands full I can see that right now! --- * Origin: Jean's Trick Horses (Or is that TRICKY??)
