The older horses are doing great - they were put on a diet of sorts so are looking trim and fit. My DIL has rode the palomino a couple of times and is really impressed :) - hard to impress her too.

He is so very well trained that the slightest touch gets a response and he's been able to do everything she's asked him. The sorrel is also well trained but at 25 still wants to go (an ex-gaming horse that doesn't know he's 25)

Just about through all the reading, I'll have to send a label for some more - MEDIA RATE or LIBRARY RATE to the office here.

We're still waiting on the last baby, we've reached the "any day now" point. The gentleman that we bought Sonny from (our stud) came down to see the first of his babies this weekend. He is so proud. He just went on and on about how good Sonny looked, how he had told everyone he knew about his two endurance rides and his placing, etc. etc. He came near tears talking about him and all his plans for him that went awry. And DIL was duly impressed that his name is in the book on the history of the Tevis Cup - he completed one in 1970 :)

The gentleman who owned Sonny had him in the two endurance races, or he is proud that you have had him in them? What happened that he had to sell him and his plans went awry? He must be/or was a serious competitor.

I am going home now, and hope I have a connection there.
