Not a bad idea.. if you can find someone like the gal that's training that 
Palomino baby.

Well she is.. and I just figured out that one of the reasons she keeps 
sticking her head up in a fast trot is because she wants to break into a 
lope.. (yes I'm certainly not perfect either.. chuckle.. should have seen it 
sooner). I don't want that just yet.. I will by the weekend.
 
Got on her tonight cold and high on purpose.. didn't work her enough last 
night and I wanted to see how manageable she'd be high.. some mild spooking.. 
but we went to work and she's being good when I want to visit and make her 
stand and wait.. still stuff to work on.. she still likes to walk off when I 
get on, etc etc.. but nothing ciritical. :)
 
And without much work.. got her down to a decent trot with good head 
position! :) 
 
Don't need to yank on her at all.. best just to talk to her, giggle the reins 
to keep her attention most of the time. She's also in a roaring heat right 
now.. and very affectionate.. likes to groom my hair when I'm grooming out 
the front of her.. ;) 
 
I just found the second Camera that Mike gave me.. will get them washed and 
pictures taken asap.. don't know about Mommy.. she's looking pretty seedy 
right now. ;)

Nope.. her Tush is still noticeably taller then her withers.

I'd have to say that Tush is easily up to 15.1 at the tush.. how tall I'm not 
exactly sure.. I have to find one of those tapes.. :/
 
However I'm certainly wondering if the withers will ever catch up with the 
tush. Mom is level when she's not carrying any excess weight.. however when 
you let her carry some weight.. she looks downhill. I hope the kid isn't 
going to be downhill.. that would be a dissapointment. :(
