This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, we got 2 surprises today. 2 of my mares were starting to look a little portly, so I had them ultrasounded and Hostar's a daddy (2X) more this year. The surprise was that one is my competition horse Nessy. We bred her before I decided to drive this year. In both cases ultrasounds etc..showed the foals were being absorbed, or so we thought. In one case because of twins the mare had absorbed it on her own and the last time we checked, it seemed she was not pregnant. Wrong, she was! I knew Nessy was pregnant and was only going to compete her through Gladstone this year. When she wasn't pregnant I took her to Fair Hill Intermediate (20 Kilometer course) She came in in great condition, low temp and pulse etc... The poor thing, she must be 5 months along....Wow, is that a testament to how tough these horses are. She is now getting a well deserved rest poor girl! We received a letter saying Nessy and I are longlisted for the US Equestrian Team in 'Combined Driving for the world games in 2000 , because of our combined driving scores this year. What they did not realize is Nessy is a pony and you Can't compete internationally in the horse division. I was proud of her, this was her first year out. I did however have to let the Driving Committee know she is a pony. I think the mix up was because they had put Craig and I in the horse division a couple of times this year, due to not enough ponies at that level. Oh, well there is always next year. Happy thanksgiving to you and your fjords!
