Re: RC: Karahty foal and High Country Ride

[Maureen Mathisen <blueoak@snowcrest.net>]

Hi Joane,

Someday I would love to ride in Colorado and get out of "sunny
California", especially the last few days of "record setting
temperatures "in northern Calif.!  Your ride sounded beautiful.

And -- CONGRATULATIONS to you and CC for your up-coming Karahty baby.  I
have had several and was NEVER disappointed.  And you're correct--Dolly
DeCair is a responsible and honest person to deal with, and your mare is
treated like"one of her own" when it is at her home.(I have stayed with
her and she's always up "checking on the girls" before I am, and I get
up fairly early!  Your foal will be worth waiting for, and I am happy
your mare is "mending". ( Mine was bred because HER owner was still
mending, but  I am very fond of this mare and cannot wait until
September!
