Probably correctly. Manitoba is lucky that way, no precip. change and
slightly
higher temperatures predicted, and it seems to be true, certainly the winter
is a

Hey! I'm Kenda and I was wondering if you'd tell me more about your
stallion....have you raised any half-arabs.....TJ Satin Drift, our half-arab
black horse is a really sweetie....he's really patient and makes me look
good...doesn't scare me at shows like Dr. Mesphisto use to do sometimes...he
was my first horse <grin> we were okay once we got use to each other....I
show Satin in 4H saddleseat and western.....and at A shows to plus in the
middle <grin> We have done really well tghis year in hunt seat too....(we're
1997 high point Pony Express Hunt Seat 17 and under) Pretty good since I only
started learning hunt seat last winter <grin> Your stallion nis
polish/egyption/cross? Satin's daddy Galaeh's Drifter is Polish.....I've
noticed that he and all his foals have really calm quiet
personalities....work really well for timid riders like me....<grin> I was
just getting used to him when Joy retired him <sigh>....TJ Omniscient (Wisdom
and F.A. Allusion) is real nice and all but Drifter was better company than
Dancer ever will be....more mature...but then I suppose Dancer will grow up

drink anything from milk to beer.
 We had two thourghbreds and a shetland thier names were luthifer, buttercup,
and cloudy(the shetland).
We had a preety good time together me and my horses until we had to sell them
to keep the house and fix the damages to it since my dad let the horses into
the house on the kitchen floor and ruined it but it was really funny seeing
them in the house.

assistant: Hi Kenda,
       Yeah! Another Arab person!  As far as temperament, the polish Arabians
I was and am acquainted with seem to enjoy working for me or whatever I am
doing with them seems to be to their liking.  Talko's mother who's primarily
polish could really be a beautiful Arab trotting around, especially if she
decided it was 'catch me if you can' time.  But under saddle, nothing more
than willingness.  I have never raised any part Arabs, but I did meet someone
at our Charles County Fair 3 years ago who had nothing but the greatest to
say of them.  I do not do much riding anymore (no tack as yet), but I hope to
ride at least occasionally in a few months, provided I am able to purchase
the necessary tack.  But, for now, Talko and his quarterhorse stablemate KC
are living life pretty easy and appear to be just enjoying their lives.  Good
Luck in your riding quests, I'm certain you'll be great!  Oh, by the way,
liking horses like you do, if you have not read 'Monty Roberts, The Man Who
Listens to Horses' it is an excellent book for any animal lover.  Have Fun!

I'm not sure about the rest of the world....but in this part of the country
saddleseat is rare..but its growing in popularity it really is...at the 4H
state fair Horse SHow this year enough riders qualified at district that we
could have a saddleseat pleasure class....I got reserve champion....I'm just
happy to see little areas grow especially ones my horse is good at like
country pleasure...not I didn't say English cause he's not the flashiest
thing but his manners have placed him in many classes....sometimes he's won
on them..-Sih

assistant: Hi Kendra,
I 2nd that!  Sounds like you have a wonderful grandma.  And to think she
began riding at 43!  I can kind a, sort a, relate to her, all I ever wanted
were horses, but this dream did not become reality until I was 34.  So, now I
am 50 and ride for pleasure.  With the good Lord's help, maybe I will be
riding well into my 80's.  When this dream all became real, I was so
intimidated by my horse, and even more so when she gave birth to a colt on
what else, "Mother's Day, 1984".  To make a long story short, this colt was
really notorious, and seemed to love to walk on his hind legs as a 1 and 2
year old, I was scared to death, but after all those years, and the colt was
gelded, I now have a wonderfull 11 year old stallion who occasionally rears
when he's feeling his oats, but I understand them now and my fears are no
longer.  Tell your Grandma, yeha from Dee, and that I plan on riding at least
those many years and then some.  Thanks, Dee
