Re: [RC] ...the continuing saga of a boy and his horse... - Timothy WordenAwesome Ed!! I was wondering who won the BLM raffle. Man, that colt has no clue just how lucky he is that you won. Can't wait to see his progress. My BLM Mustang is doing very well under saddle. At about 3-3½y/o he's about 15.2hh. I'm sure he'll be pushing 16hh when he's done growing. My goal is next years Sandhills Stampede LD to get him started. Keep us posted. Hope to see you at a ride soon.
