Hey! Nice to hear for you again...Hope your horses are all right  I'm 
Kenda btw not KendRa. I don't think Grandmother was really interested in 
hroses before her daughters got her interested....Pleasure horses are the 
best....like our Satin...we show him and all and do quite well....but he's 
not some stuck up snob....sometimes I see those saddlebreds in thier braces 
at the shows we go too...and I'm so glad for my 
country-pleasure/hunter/western pleasure horse...well relally my 
grandmother's but I'm allowed to claim him as "family owned" oh and I hsould 
also inform you....I don't have a "Grandma"  she won't let us call her 
that...makes her sound like an old lady...she says she's a "Grandmother" I 
was afraid of my forst horse for the longest time...he's now 16 and we just 
sold him....he was a "Beginner's horse for college students" and we get along 
fine now.....but a young beginner rides a little different than an older one 
I suppose...He has a real special girl now...they "click" not to say we 
didn't get along cause once we got going we did quite well....but it was time 
for me to move up -Sih
