Hi Glenda!  Congratulations on making the right decision for your horse.  I'm 
really impressed...so many people will get sucked into the "moment" that they 
forget about their equine buddy.  Sounds like you nailed it on the heat 
factor.  Probably what caused you your problems.  Lakota is lucky to have you 
taking care of him (they should all be so lucky!).  Good luck on your next 
ride, I'm sure you will succeed (which ever way it turns out) just as you did 
this time.
