Well there are things I'm not worried about at the moment.. She'll either
grow out of them (as she's doing with many of the baby routines) or I'll
deal with it. She's to the point where I'm getting good cues into the
trot without the head going high and all the other problems I've had with
it.. and she'll trot quite awhile now.. we're doing rail work at the
trot. ;)
 
She's ready to go as soon as I pick up the bit.. and I've ridden her
twice a day as often as I can. Loping soon! The kid sure wants to! ;)
 
 
I had her in the public arena the other day with 5 or 6 other
horses working.. some rail work.. some reining.. some english flat work.
She handled it pretty well. :)
 
That's the first time she's been in a crowded and BUSY arena with me
riding her. Some of those folks were novices.. and we did get crowded
several times.

CJ looks like heck.. can't give her a bath.. can't do anything with her
right now with the boo-boo..  so I won't take a picture of her.. I've
passed out enough of her anyway. Yep.. CJ has started to dapple.. winter
coat is coming.
 
 
>> They're like a buck at the tack shops!  Best bargain in town!
 
Read your first paragraph. ;)
 
 
>> BK :>some weight.. she looks downhill. I hope the kid isn't
>> BK :>going to be downhill.. that would be a dissapointment. :(
 
>> Still pretty young to panic about that!
 
yep I know.. and I've got a world of real things to worry about right now.
 
 
>> Sounds like she's really coming along, Bob.  I'd really love a

Will do.. will try to get her bathed and ready for some pics this week.
