==========================================

WELL FOLKS YOU HELPED ME WORK OUT THE MEADOW VISTA, CA. OLD HORSE PEOPLE VS THE 
NEWBEES TRYING TO RUN US OUT. I HAD SUCH A GREAT RESPONCE I SAVED A LOT OF THE 
LETTERS HA,..
WE STILL HAVE ALL 5 OF OUR 6 HORSES AND ITS A STAND OFF .. FOR 3 YEARS..AT THIS 
TIME..I GOT A NEW JOHN DEERE GARDEN TRACTOR AND CLEAN UP EVERY DAY .. AND ITS 
FUN! KINDA?

WE FOUND A DREAM COME TRUE FOR SAFAR OUR OLD TEVIS GELDING WITH A YOUNG 11 
YEAR OLD GIRL WHOM LOVES HIM.LIVES IN LIVING QUARTERS ABOVE HIS HUGE STALL.. 
AND TAKES HIM OUT ONTO THEIR 45 ACRES OF FENCED PASTURE OF THEIR 275 ACRES 
HA...BEFORE SHE GOES TO SCHOOL AND BRINGS HIM IN AT NIGHT AND PUTS HIS BLANKY 
ON AND TUCKS HIM IN AT NIGHT IN A FOOT DEEP OF SHAVINGS IN HIS STALL...HE`S 
25.DID THE TEVIS WHEN HE WAS 20 IN 2000. (-:

WHAT TO DO WITH LAD..
I HAVE HAD FOR 23 YEARS....?LADDY....SUR INDAPENDANCE
AERC #132548 SAYS HE DID ABOUT 7-850? NEVER CHANGE IT BUT HES DONE 950. IN 
MILES..I HAVE DONE OVER A 1000.MOST WITH HIM..
I HAVE A YOUNG MARE I AM JUST NOW STARTING TO GET IN SHAPE FOR ENDURANCE THIS 
YEAR.. I TOOK 2 YEARS TO TRAIN AND  GET HER DOWN THE TRAILS SAFELY..
A KARAHTY MARE, JAZZIE THAT HAS A COMING 2 YEAR OLD FILLY IN JULY, SIERRA 
PEPSI MOON A FILLY.. I AM ALSO WORKING WITH .
I HAVE JUST STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH JAZZIES COME BACK..
I HAVE MY HANDS FULL!!
LADDY  NEEDS A GOOD HOME.. I THINK.. MAYBE I AM NOT BEING REALISTIC AND SHOULD 
JUST PUT HIM DOWN?? I JUST CAN NOT LET HIM GO ON ROTTING!!
MAYBE SOME ONE COULD HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT?? MY HUSBAND SAYS IF I PUT LAD OUT 
TO PASTURE HE WILL SUFFER..? HE NEEDS PEOPLE ..
HE DOES NOT DO GOOD LOOSE WITH OTHER HORSE BECAUSE HE LIKES TO HEARD THEM ALL 
THE TIME..?? I AM JUST BESDIDE MYSELF ???   HE IS ALMOST 25? I WANT WHAT WILL 
BE BEST FOR HIM... I LOVE HIM DEARLY!!PUT HIM DOWN? LET HIM ROT? DONT THINK SO! 
OR FIND SOMEONE WHO WOULD LOVE HIM IN HIS LAST YEARS AS I DO..AND ENJOY 
HIM..HES A FUN HORSE..

AT 61 I AM PRAYING FOR A FEW MORE YEARS OF RIDING ..THE TEVIS MAYBE EVEN?? 
GORDON DID IT 11 TIMES I NEED TO DO IT AT LEAST ONCE? HA
LAD IS 24 1/2 HE IS MY FIRST ENDURANCE HORSE.. STARTED ENDURANCE LATE AND 
RETIRED EARLY NOT RIDDEN HARD SLOW RIDING IN THE MIDDLE..8-9 HOUR 50`S... A 
CHUTOR SON PURE FOLISH 15.2.. VERY BIG AND POWERFUL IN A OLD MAN WAY NOW 
HA..SLIGHTLY ARAB HOT..VERY WELL TRAINED AND COMPLETLY CONTROLABLE NEVER 
DANGERIOUS BUT A HANDFULL.?
POOR GUY NEEDS TO BE RIDDEN....AND HAVE HIS OWN PERSON PAY ATTENTION TO 
HIM.....  A LITTLE STIFF AS HE IS AN OLD MAN ...HE NEEDS A JOB DESPERATELY.. 
YOU SHOUD SEE HIM MOVE IN THE ARENA HA.VERY PROUD HORSE!   LOVES MARES AND TO 
GO IN THE TRAILER.. WOULD LOVE TO GO ON THE TRAILS "EASY" 2 OR 3 OR 4 TIMES A 
MONTH.. GRAND FLEX AND SOME TRAIL RIDING WOULD MAKE HIM SO HAPPY.. HE IS A 
WONDERFULL OLD GUY!..NEEDS AN OLD PRO..LIKE HIM HA..I WOULD TAKE HIM BACK..AND 
PUT HIM DOWN IF HE JUST CAN NOT DO IT ANYMORE.. I JUST WANT HIM TO HAVE A ONE 
LAST CHANCE..?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
