Best start working out to improve the circulation.. it was the smoking that 
cut down your circulation to your hands and feet.. it's happening here to. My 
hands and feet are colder this year then ever before.

Hee Hee.. Tush is not as neat as Mom.. Mom picks out a spot and does her poop 
in it.. Tush is not as selective.. ;)
 
I have to muck her stall at night unless I want a blond with green polka 
dots! ;)
 
OH YES! Rode the heck out of CJ Sun.. two rides! Both at a good strong 
dressage trot.. with some loping at the end of the second.. unfortunately 
she's still in the "YAHOO!" stage where I have to deal with a mare that wants 
to crow hop when you put her into a lope.. ;)
 
It'll pass.. ;)
 
Straw is getting put into a very strick routine.. I't taken far to much to 
get him out of his spoiled rotten routine.. I've had to pop him a couple of 
times for being really stupid with me like tonight when he wouldn't back and 
when a went to get after him he tried to nip me.. BZZT! Wrongo.. one of two 
intolerable things I won't put up with. Other then that if I'd had him in a 
walk trot class on Sun we would have done extremely well.. He is shapping up 
again very nicely. We've jsut started to lope again since it's taken all this 
time to get him moving properly again. I've also started to lay down the law 
with his owner and she's starting to respond..  Straw may well get shown next 
year in Pinto. ;)
