Well there are things I'm not worried about at the moment.. She'll either grow out of them (as she's doing with many of the baby routines) or I'll deal with it. She's to the point where I'm getting good cues into the trot without the head going high and all the other problems I've had with it.. and she'll trot quite awhile now.. we're doing rail work at the trot. ;) She's ready to go as soon as I pick up the bit.. and I've ridden her twice a day as often as I can. Loping soon! The kid sure wants to! ;) I had her in the public arena the other day with 5 or 6 other horses working.. some rail work.. some reining.. some english flat work. She handled it pretty well. :) That's the first time she's been in a crowded and BUSY arena with me riding her. Some of those folks were novices.. and we did get crowded several times. >> BK :>I just found the second Camera that Mike gave me.. will get >> BK :>them washed and pictures taken asap.. don't know about >> BK :>Mommy.. she's looking pretty seedy right now. ;) >> Great!!!

I was brousing through the messages and saw alot about your horses and I'm so sorry about Baby. It must be very had to lose someone that you love so much. When I was young we had these horses their names were Brownie, Luthifure, and Cloudy. Brownie was a Thoughbred and was very pretty and was 15.4 hands high. Luthifure was another throughbred and always loved jumping fences. Cloudy was my brothers pony whichwas 10.2 hands high and drank coca cola out of mugs ang beer out of mugs plus beer cans. One time Couldy came into the house a ruined the tile flooring in thr kitchen, but of course we had to get rid of them and that was pretty hard for me since I loved them dearly, but I got the hang of it and you will to . P.S. Loving and losing them hurts but it takes time --- Maximus 3.00 * Origin: Northern Lights - (613) 269-2281 (1:163/344) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: EE100002 Date: 09/30/97 From: MIKE MAY Time: 05:58am \/To: MEG ALFONI (Read 1 times) Subj: ???? -> MM :>-> Meg (who actually SITS on her horse -g-) -> -> MM :>When? ;-) -> -> Ouch!
