Jr.  She and Marc are doing very well. 

That's great, I was just talking about the dilemma of a mom with a little
bitty kid who is begging to get on the trail *soon*!  Here in the SE we
have a rule that a Jr. has to be at least 8 years old.  That gave me a
few extra years breathing room but then she turned 8 and I still didn't
have anything I trusted for her to get out in that mess at a start on. 
She was 10 before I felt comfortable with the horse we had and with her
ability to go out and do a ride.  She did start with 50's, but I don't
think we could have done a 25 any sooner since we just didn't have a
horse I trusted.  I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Ben for
allowing this kid to get on the trail after her wanting to so bad for so
long....*but* she does look forward to when she gets to start *her* horse
and fantasizes about what he'll be like. Hopefully by the time she's your
daughter's age she'll have one.
