You can reply off-list if you want about this--I'd like advice about how to
start re-training off-track Arabians for endurance.  Anybody with
experience?  Truman?  I can do basic round-pen and general stuff, but is
there something specific, other than the crossing-the-reins thing and
throwing up the jockey (thank you, Lynn Ashby for the lessons), that
racehorses are trained for that needs attention?  I have gotten BC, so I
think I can handle the conditioning part.

I actually measured Dorsey today.  He is only 14+H!!!  Sorry, now I not only
have foot-in-mouth, but also egg-on-face.  Hey, I just bought the little guy
*yesterday*, so don't flame me too much.  I'll never again say a number
before measuring!    Bridget in SE PA
