Tues. Misc.

Sat. we got a little run out of the boys in the pasture.  Very discouraging going since then having to do with subject of Challenges in our situation.  By Sun. #148 had lost both front shoes--three days after being shod--in the mud of the pond, as feared.  Back on last night, though very tenuously.  One foot could take on three nails.  Will see.  Started a run last night just before dark and they disappear in the woods.  #7 has two shoes to go this eve.  Try again this eve.  My thoughts are to getting these to the race track, even as early as mid Nov.
