Mon. Mis.

On a warm January Sunday we complete our shoeing and get a wow riderless workout in our new running paddock from both horses.  Horses have now gone riderless near full speed three of the last 6 days.  First two days were just one heat in consideration of the layoff and that they went full speed for almost 3f.  Yesterday we did it twice--i.e. 6f total.  #148 rear left hock were he had his operation a year ago had been down to normal--all swelling gone.  After yest. w/o a little smudge of swelling popped up again.  Will see.
Shoeing took unexpectedly long and too dark for tack work.  15 degrees for next two days.

Meanwhile, a granddaughter Antespend who is also #148 upper grandma named Rose to Gold does it again.
We like it when our close relatives win major stakes. Unknown how long this link will be up showing Antespend in the pedigree. And, she was cheaper than #148--$1400.00 as a yearling.  There's still hope for we small fry! #148 cost $2000 in Opelousas.
