Re: enforced time off

Hi,
Sorry about your layoff. If you are able to get out and about, thought about
doing some ground work with your horse? There is a wonderful book by Bill
Dorrance and Leslie Desmond. True Horsemanship Through Feel> It is a
wonderful read even if you cannot get around to start working with your
horse. Check out the book at www.lesliedesmond.com Even if you don't get the
book, this web site should give you plenty of ideas of things to do while
mending.
Good luck,
Pat Super
