If it doesn't rain (and it's been threatening all morning) all of us are riding this afternoon.

I got Gracie a brand new jug of Red Cell last week, so she should be full of vim and vigour after a week on that stuff. It actually makes her snort! (I don't know what they put in it, the label just says vitamins and minerals, but I swear there's uppers in there or something.)

Have a new hunter course set up at the barn, all of us take turns building new jumps, and one kid's dad is quite a carpenter - built two new roll-tops, one about 1 foot tall, the other is a monster at 2 1/2 feet high AND wide. It looks very intimidating from the takeoff side, but the first time is the worst time! When Gracie is looking at a new scary fence, her ears swivel round in circles and you can feel her hindquarters sink lower and lower as she thinks about putting on the brakes. But she does always get over somehow - it usually isn't pretty, down to a trot and pop over from a near standstill.

I'll try to get some shots of the kids if it isn't raining.

Yes, try to get some pictures.... hopefully there will be someone around that can snap some of you too!

I think Red Cell looks like you are just feeding them rich blood. Worked wonderfully on my old dog when she just wasn't keeping weight and had no energy without it.

Right now, Bay is still a lot of horse for an old guy. I don't know if it is in his future or not, but he doesn't need it yet!
