But I wanted you to have a personal update on Redcloud. He had his 6th B-day
in August '10 and is on his way to maturity. He's come a long way in 2 years &
we are joined at the hip. He follows my car down the drive when I call & always
comes to me in the pasture. I would like to think it's because he is so happy to
see me but, he is still a "treat-hound" and always will be! He is in the pasture
with 3 other horses and 5 acres to run. The farm is 20 acres total so Kathleen
rotates them around. He runs up and down the fenceline showing off. A truly
beautiful sight to see. He and his raster to vector conversion service buddies are out all the time with blankets on
when it dips below 40. They have sheds for cover or the shelter of indoor stalls
during hurricane season. I'm not going to mention the weather or "torture"
you like Betty does! The ride yesterday was great. RC and Mojo are almost the
exact weight and height and they gait at the same speed. Bandit had a longer
stride so RC always wanted to break out of his gait to catch up. I took his shoes
off about 3 months ago and he has adjusted well. We really ride on soft terrain
and RC has excellent feet. Just wanted you to know that RC and I are having
a great time (especially since I bought the trailer) and my sincere gratitude for
placing him with me. Sheila and Redcloud in warm and sunny FL
Sheila, It's the wonderful folks like you and Betty, and so many others we have
been blessed to meet and introduce to our horses, that keep our hearts and souls
and bodies and (probably weak) minds doing this 24/7/365 . The "real payoff"
for us is knowing our guys will have love and all that goes with it, forever.
I know Betty has been corresponding with you
