Nancy, is this a decision you have to make now?
No, it is not and the plan is to just continue with the training of both mares, enjoying the process and the ponies and seeing where we end up. The actual fact is that we have the extremely phlegmatic Twist who is as close to bomb proof as a horse will ever get and is looking for a job. And Stephanie is so consumed with her school work and crafting that I suspect she likes the fact of owning Tosca and riding some horse from time to time, but she is never begging "Please, please, may I go out and ride?" She is a very smart girl who hass learned to accept how physically challenging life is for her and how long it takes her to accomplish tasks that you and I do without thinking. This group is a world of help and support to us and I am very grateful for the depth of experience and kind advice. Nancy
