     I am so proud of a little horse 
I own.... yesterday she went into training for the local handicapped 
program.   This little arab mare came to me when she was 2 and in the 
past 3 years had not really developed into a horse to be used for 
endurance.  I had started and ridden her only lightly but had done a lot of 
groundwork with her.  I had heard that the local program was in need of a 
couple of younger small horses as several of theirs are getting up in years and 
having some back/lameness issues and need to be retired.  So they came out 
and did an evaluation on my little girl and found her to be what they were 
needing.  I think it's great for them and great for the horse... she is 
really wanting to have a job.  But.. if it shouldn't work out they're going 
to call me and I'll bring her back home.   Several of my friends and 
clients volunteer with the program so I'm sure I'll get updates.
