I used to be able to ride on the canal bank to the ocean{I live in

down.well I was a bit miffed but oh well.it's a free country,I'd
just have to live w/it.UNTIL they parked [EMAIL PROTECTED] llamas{pardon me
llama lovers}right on the bank to"catch some rays?" Frjeda blew a cork or
two and we didn't get to the ocean that day! That being said I think Fjreda
would make a great endurance horse{as long as we don't run into those South
American"camels"}.she has tons of power and I have yet to feel a hint

Re: head protection...
This message is from: "linda hickam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
30 years ago,my 16.3h combined training horse spooked,bucked,slipped and
fell on top of me.I only know this because someone told it to me.I was in a
coma for 3 weeks,I started to become conscious very slowly{still waiting,by
the way} I was paralyzed on my right side and saw double.I did have one of
those "useless" helmets on and we were just trotting! To this day my entire
right side is numb and I still see double.Head injuries aren't all that fun
but they're definitely harder on your family...and you don't have to be
knocked out to have one...just a little testimony

This message is from: "linda hickam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I think mules are more self-preservation oriented than horses and definitely
