That's great :=).  We weighed Rocky all 5 days of the XP, and he went up 
and down, usually recovering by each morning.  Most days he'd start and end 
just a few (like 6 or 8) pounds apart, but not always......it'll be very 
interesting to see how the weight compares to the bloodwork.  Lots of 
horses weighed (108 started).

Not sure what the end results were/are.  Rocky is 1/2" down on the weight 
tape (the day after), and after a 400 mile trailer trip home today.  Weaver 
had more weight fluctuations going on and the the poor guy didn't even get 
ridden all week!  (damn good insurance policy tho!!) <bg>

Did you see all the Trilby pix - did they come out okay?
