Oh ya.. shouldn't have really done it straight from the stall.. but I had no options.. took longer then I expected and at the same time it re-enforced that fact that she shouldn't have to worry about things when I'm handling her.

It might also help them to bond a bit better.

Not practical.. just very level headed.. lot's of work went into that one.. remember you can influence the amount of time and exent a horse gets "upset" or high over something and the recovery from same.

Yep, couldn't be happier about it execpt for the side effects.. we're going to get El Nino this year (supposedly).. and that will be bad enough. They've been talking about 100 year rains/floods.
