Oh, I have been reading the conference for more than two years, I
know this is a good crew. And I have been most concerned for you
when Baby died, and happy that you found Sedona.
At one time, years ago, I bought a Saddlebred mare, with an Arab-
sired filly at her side. The mare was nice and smooth, but
refused to be caught in the pasture and then would not settle to
any nice pace. She was also _not_ in foal to the beautiful
Morgan, as she was supposed to, so I sold her. Had I had some
instruction or more experience, I might have done better with
her. But at least the filly turned out well, despite my lack
of skill I was able to ride her with a halter only. Wonder, if
she is still alive, would be about 24 years old now... When she
left, my 10-years of no riding began.
If this reply is late, sorry, seems our BBS got the messages
late, somehow, and might have missed some.
AND BTW, next week is vacation time, we may go to Spruce Woods
provincial park, to do some riding in a really beautiful spot.
Will come back to Equus next Friday!
       Regards                   Emil
