    "Baby" had never done anything like that before -- in fact, her

    Maybe it was just a fluke .... Now SEDONA and X are the mischevious and 
practical jokers in my barn ..... you never know WHAT they are going to do 
..... then X gives you the "who me??  I didn't do that"

    It's lots of fun .... SEDONA and X would rather drive than be ridden -- 
that's OK with me now.  I'm enjoying it!

    Good thinking!!  She really sounds like a wonderful horse!

    How 'bout Nora out there??  Any threat?  We'll keep our fingers crossed 
that El Nino fizzles too but we've been hearing a lot about it here too.
