Re: RC: Karahty foal and High Country Ride

[Maureen Mathisen <blueoak@snowcrest.net>]

Hi Joane

RELAX!!  My injury happened at work teaching L.H. kids, and the disc in
my back went out at a meeting when I reached down too quickly for my
pen!)  It then got worse from the "tilt" position teachers sit in
helping little kids, and two more kind of collapsed from wear over 30
years I guess.  Anyway, for the past 5 years I have not done hardly any
riding, and it's killing me.   I miss it so much.  I still raise
endurance horse and Connemara Ponies, but I really want to RIDE!!  SO--I
guess the moral of this story is tell your husband you can't WORK!!

My Karahty babies that are in Utah with Scott Powell(do you know him>)
are both quite tall.  The five year old is out of a purebred l5.2 hand
mare and is almost l6 hands.  Scott bought her full weanling sister with
her, and she was a very tall baby.   I have another mare out of my l4.l
Arab endurance mare who is only about l4.2, and another out of a l4.2
mare is l5 hands.  So--although the mare has something to do with it,
all but the one mare got a taller baby than she was.  YOURS should be a
giant!!   But what I loved was that not only were they large, but also
elegant and good tempered.

Let me know what you get also.
