RE: Lyme aftermath

["C Eyler" <eyler@mindspring.com>]

Hi Karla,

Jack has not been on stall rest.  He's at pasture 24/7 (except to get his
grain/supplements in his stall twice daily).  Thankfully, the Lyme was
discovered before he had any actual symptoms from it.

Good luck on your 50 -- you're an endurance poster child.

Cindy
