Tom,
I truly wish you a speedy recovery. I wanted to thank you for sending the
glycogen loader to try. I just received it two days ago and honestly
haven't had a chance to look at it yet and come up with a plan. However,
I will begin with your original instructions.

You know, it scares me to death to load my horse with glycogen believing
that the byproduct will be lactic acid. Yet I have faith in your research
and I'm willing to keep an open mind. My mare is healthy, sound, and
well-conditioned. I know her well as we have been partners for over 11 years
now. I will keep you posted as we begin our serious conditioning soon. By
the way, my farrier, Keith came over today and shoed our three mares. He still
intends to look you up but was waiting for the holidays and weather conditions
to calm down.

Thanks for exposing me to new fields of research. I hope I can prove a
valuable study for you. I'll keep in touch.

Best wishes,
Joyce
