what cute drawings

I was wrong! He's in Greenwood, Indiana. Boy, did I get that one wrong! Been looking at too many horses, I guess. He is most definitely gaited, as I just viewed his video this morning. He gaits as well as trots and canters. Here's the link. Keep in mind he's a very green 2 yr old. You can clearly see in the video that he gaits, and his canter is also SUPER smooth! Thanks so much for offering to look at him for me.

He does, doesn't he. Looks like he'd claw your eyes out if you laughed out loud at him.

Hey Suzanne,
I sorry to hear your truck is giving you fits! Have you had a pressure test done on it to make sure you can find all the leaks? Have you tried using stop leak in the radiator? Is it running hot also? Work here is really slow to. But somehow I think its kinda slow all over. The economy really sucks right now. And since hubby got hurt there is little he can do also. Pinching pennies is such a drag. I understand about stress I have had a fair share of it myself! I have learned to keep my big fat mouth shut and never say what else can happen. But I try to tell myself its just a hump in the road and I can and will make it. I use my meditation method and breathe in deep and say (In with the butterflies and sometimes I take in thousands of them, LOL and blow out with the bees) Sometimes you just have to laugh. I agree 100% with the spay and neuter program for humans myself. I don't have any children and even when I was younger never wanted any, I guess I'm a dying species. LOL My mom use to do those guilt trips on me to. But deep down its only because they care and can't help being mom's I guess. And on that note I'll just say my mom is no longer on the wonderful place called ummm can I say what I really want to call it. LOL I hope everything starts to get better for you just try and think positive. I admire all the knowledge you know about horses, you really have a eye for them. I hope you can find a job working with them. Take care and keep me posted. Talk to you soon. Tonya

Hey U, Sorry been off of HGS for the past few days. Stopping in to see how everything is your way. Have you been back by your sisters. Sounds like you really enjoyed tending to all of her babies. How is the truck running? Happy to say we have added a few more pets to the ark. LOL My blue heeler had puppies. eeeek! They are just to cute. She had 9 all together but only 6 made it. This is her first and last litter. We already have 3 of the puppies sold and I haven't even advertised them yet. I traded one of them for a jack russel he is so cute. Only 2 left, I'm so attached to them already. We already have vet appointments lined up for Deuce and Denim (mom & dad) to be fixed. How has the weather been for you? Its soo hot here I'm really nervous about hurricane season. Having flash backs from Katrina. Do you ever have hurricanes where your at? Just wanted to stop in and say hello. Take care friend, Tonya

I was pretty impressed with it myself ef. sig worthy lol

Hey U, Glad to hear your doing well. How were all the animals doing? What kind of animals does your sis have? I'm so glad you got your radiator fixed! Is it as hot there as it is here? Any special plans for the 4th? My vehicles are older models as well at least you can work on them. Newer cars and trucks are all computerized and you have to go to a mechanic shop because they made them that way so you can't work on them. I still have my lil ranger I bought brand new back long ago in 88 its retired now but it still runs! lol That's when trucks were built to last! Thanks so much for replying back to me was just checking on you to make sure you were alright. How are things going otherwise? Wish you lived closer I sure could use a trusting person to help feed when we go out of town. I worry about my babies. LOL Of course I have a ark full of animals here. LOL 3 horses of mine own, 5 boarders, 4 cats, 6 ferrets, 7 dogs plus we just had a litter so add 6 new puppies 10 chickens and one lonely fish. So when did you say you can feed for me? LOL I would have to replace all your tires on your truck after feeding for me. LOL It was good to hear from you hope to talk to you soon again. Take care. Tonya

Just wanted to see how you were doing? Hope all is well. Take care, Tonya

Hello Native, I can't seem to thank you enough for your very time consuming analysis and description on Zip. I will be reading and rereading through it a gazillion times. I have never had anyone explain it to me in the way you have, It totally helps me understand about how some points help and others will hinder him. I can only hope one day I can try do such a awesome job on other horses as you have done for me. You have made my day! I will defently discuss with my farrier about taking a lil heel off from him over nermous months to come. I'm in no rush with him going into serious competition we have a whole lifetime to do that. If it ever occurs for that matter. I'm a very fluffy sort of person (lol) and I just wanted to make sure he was skeletal wise sound enough to carry him and myself mostly. ANd sound enough to start increased training. He is still green broke and I do work with his head set but he really needs to start learning how to engage more from his hindquarters. I won't push him as he is still young and sometimes he really wants things his way. I have had some runs in with him here and there but since gelding him it appears to have improved his mindset so to speak. I'm really shooting for is him to go WP and Horsemanship and just for the sake of it Halter. I'm sad to say I have never done any sort of English riding but I know we would both benefit immensely from it. I could go on and on asking question after question but I feel I have taken enough of your time already. If possible in the future I may call on you again for your expertise. I will tell you, You know your horses! Thanks so much friend and take care. Tonya

You are right though. I need to stop being lazy and wear the darn thing properly! LOL
