    I hadn't seen this old thread before. It brings back memories! When I was in my twenties there was a sod farm with a water reservoir across from the place where I boarded my horses, and on hot days we would jump on bareback, with only halters and lead ropes for control (didn't want to get the bridles soaked), and ride over there for a swim. The pond was 15 feet deep in the middle, and we used to swim across it. Once the horses lost the bottom, the water would stream over their backs as they stretched their necks out to swim. We would grab fistfuls of mane and float alongside them, making sure to be in the right spot to slide back on as they hit the shallows and scrambled up the bank. Good times!

    @Kipawa: I rode quarterhorses for many years - I just love em, and yours looks to be in good form. The picture of the baby rats is incredible. Thanks for sharing your photos. Thank you :) he does himself proud. Although i actually have trouble keeping weight off him :P unlike his paddock friends (a stockhorse and a thoroughbred). I love the western stuff. QH's are my fav, beautiful nature with a hint of cheekiness. He's starting to loose his awkward look from when he was growing (the see-saw look lol withers higher, withers lower as they grow lol) and hes now filling out which i love - i love chunky qhs :) Rats are amazing :) Glad you like the photo

    @Schouiffy: Well, my pics are not uploaded quite yet.. but I have a Paso Fino mare I keep out by Stanford, and I had a half Arabian half Hanoverian as my jumping sport horse. =) I'm a major sucker for the Arabians.. =) Ooooh! I can't wait for the pictures. We had a half-Arab growing up - he was a handful! Beautiful, a bit high strung, very fun to ride. But he was so sweet - he turned to "mush" when we put a child on him. He really knew…I have very fond memories of him.

I agree..altho it seems like ALL of Cesar's clients have the same issue :D don't they get it by now?? It's like the same story over & over again lol How very true, however it just goes to show what a big serious problem this is
