First, the good news...

Hank's tumor on his stomach fell off on Sunday, just before our
Dressage tests!!!  The hole that is left from the tumor is now
the size of a dime, where before it was the size of about a half-
dollar!  It looks very good, and I am still putting the Panalog
Ointment on it daily.  He also has 3 other tumors...2 small ones
on the inside of his right rear thigh, and 1 on the outside of
his sheath.  One of the tumors on his thigh also fell off on Sunday,
and the other 2 that are left are looking like they will fall off
soon!  So, all of the prayers you have all been saying have been
working well!  THANK YOU!!!

Show brag...

We did a jumping show on Saturday, jumping to 2'3".  We have jumped
2' acouple of times, and 3' 2 times, but never have we jumped a
pattern at 2'3".  The pattern had 8 fences in it, and Hank only
knocked down 1 rail!  He veered to the left at the second to last
fence, but there were horses refusing to go over that fence, for
whatever the reason, and one girls horse stopped at that fence and
she took a major nose dive, so it was probably hesitation on my part,
after seeing all of this, that made him veer away from that fence.
We circled and jumped it just fine, completed the last fence fine and
placed 4 in the class out of 8.  The other classes we were in he did
fantastic, with no refusals or faults!  And, during warm up, he was
knocking down EVERYTHING!!!  Sometimes I just don't know about him.

Dressage on Sunday was great!  We took 1st out of 5 in the suitability
class, and then 3 seconds and 1 third out of our 4 Dressage tests!
We placed 2nd out of 8 in Training Level 1, test 3!  That one is kinda
long, with alot of sitting trots.  He did AWESOME!!!  The judge that
was there was very strict, so our best score for the day was 60.93,
but people who have been watching Hank and I at these shows says that
there is a definite improvement in us from show to show.  That's nice
to know!  Oh, BTW, I FINALLY start Dressage lessons on the 21st, then
every other Monday after!  As you all know, I've only had 3 Dressage
lessons, and 1 of the lessons was on another horse!


O.K.  now the "On the lookout" part:  Looking for Betsy Zeller!!!

Posted from Cathy Cleverley, Sequent, Toronto:

I wonder if you could do me a favour.  My friend Lauryn (with whom I
keep my horse) is friends with a woman named Betsy Zeller who works
for a software company in California.  Lauryn talked to her the other
night and asked if she was on the internet.  Betsy says she posts to
rec.equestrian - but I don't remember seeing any of her posts.~
