Re: reliable horse caretakers
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gail the horses seem okay, thank God. Charlie the big one is competing with elephants. I could not lift the one load. His system is clearing out so that is good. The mare has been on small rations so she is not in a delightful frame of mind but softening up in the neck. then there is Gunnar who is so glad to be home and talks to us, tearing about the field and making ditches in the arena. He has tasted his first grass for a month and is in the usual head down position! Anne took such good care of him and he looks quite handsome, I agree it is such a worry to have to trust someone but you do need to get away at times. Always so nice coming back and seeing things in good order, on occasion!!

I hate trusting anybody with my babies. I paid the vet's assistant to do it the one time I left them for 3 days. Yesterday they left me to go to boarding school for a couple of months and I know the woman is good and have seen her horses, and it's still driving me crazy. they probably won't even want to come home. She has Arab stallions and Ida is quite a flirt. She doesn't understand you can get kicked out for such transgressions (I don't think Miss Look-at-me-I-can buck and canter would care). I hope your babies recover well. Lots of movement now, no?Gail in LC
