CJ does this.. in fact I also let her drop the bridle when we're done.. it 
helps her confidence she her teeth do not get banged. 
 
Tush also "gets"her halter on.. so to speak.. ;)

Chuckle.. I find I'm still having problems with my back.. it's no where as 
strong as it used to be.. or it's just taking longer to get back in shape.. I 
really have to watch it when I'm riding.

Yep! I rode CJ twice on sun.. she really doesn't mind. She enjoys getting out

Well we were darn near under water today.. more on the way for Tues aft.. 
clearing Weds. Every major freeway in LA was tied up today. When I drove back 
from Symar to Burbank to check on the horses I had to take the 170 down and 
bypass where the 5 was closed.
