Angie, I have never met an Arab who did not benefit from a "friend and a 
job"...

I can't wait to get out on Ranger, my new 4 yr old little brother of 
Fellow's. Both Doc sons..both excellent minds..Ranger is sweeter, more of a 
pocket pony..but we will see how he feels about that after he does his first 
50 in a couple years.

It is just a "feed my soul" feeling watching him trot around his pasture, 
imagining what it will be like to ride him out on the trail. I rode him in 
the arena before I bought him, but that doesn't count in my book.

..Watch for this boy in a few years..He is a Doc son out of a Kozsar 
dtr..and was started very nicely.
