This message is from: Kari Ann Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Brigid,
Congratulations on keeping a cool head and not allowing yourself to be intimidated. I don't know where you live in California, but there are some barns I can recommend where the owners are sane and supportive. These are in Castro Valley and the Oakland Hills and a barn quite close to us whose arena and paddock facilities are not quite as good as the others, but where the care is responsible. May the Horse be with you, Kari Ann -- Please access my web site at <http://pwp.value.net/penomee/penomee.html> for my artistic, academic and performing resumés, and... a great low-fat lasagna recipe!
