Re: [RC] Purple Flowers - Anderson, Kristie LynnI used to ride at this one park once a week that had an abundance of them, and the trails are wide but twist and turn a little bit. In the spring my Arab mare would dump me (or come dangerously close) at least once each ride when some of those purple flowers would suddenly appear around a bend. She eventually got desensitized to them, but if she goes a long period without seeing them, it's like starting from scratch. One of my TWH geldings isn't a big fan of them either, but he doesn't tend to like anything brightly colored. Riding him at the beach in the summer is a nightmare!

I am always impressed by the varied articles in this magazine, and this issue has a couple of great ones! Of course the article about the Tom Quilty Gold Cup was first to be read, and thanks to Charisse, Kim and Ernie for putting it together. Hopefully we will welcome more US riders over here in September this year for the 2009 Quilty! (Bruce Burnham, come on down!) I also loved the "Endurance Angels" snippets, and I was particularly taken with the letter from Meta Sadlon, talking about her endurance angel: Secrets. Now, Meta has hit a nerve here. She says her mare doesn't like purple flowers..... and several of my horses also don't like purple flowers. We have a few different species of wild flower and/or weeds that have purple blooms, and every day at least one of my horses throws a spak attack about the purple flowers. Why is this? Does anyone else's horses have issues with purple flowers? :-) ..... Best regards Jay Randle SPLENDACREST ENDURANCE TRAINING www.freewebs.com/splendacrest May the horse be with you.....
