Re: RC: RC: Big Horses

Hi Janice and Mike
Well I'm plumb out of my tall guys right now so you can either have a
lease to one of my big-guy producing mares or find a tall mare of your
own to breed to Hal-- he loves them all. We ship semen coast to coast
and this year we're shipping to Italy-- the boy's going international!
Can't promise all of them to grow to 16.1 like Val's Pico Nightrider,
but many are 15.2 and +. I love the publicity but I guess anyone else
who wants to talk TALL should email me privately so the ridecamp police
won't bust me for commercials. You can also reach me through my web site
below.

I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer it
gets to the end, the faster it goes. Smell the roses!
