Write your reply.

assistant: Isn't that funny???  Maybe that's what that story about the "ugly
duckling" really was about <g>.
    Sounds like he's filling out nicely .....
    I'll send ya' some ...
    Okey Dokey ..... but I need a physical addres for that (I ship UPS) .....
OK??
    Well, sort of ...... it effects the central nervous system ..... "Baby"
isn't paralyzed ...... but she's lame - moves with a distinct "gimp" .....
seems very tight in the rear end ...... I ride her on good days (just a
little trail ride) ........ just leave her in the pasture on bad days.
    Yep ...... sounds like they had a wonderful time together!!!
    This is true ....... X would be the same -- MUCH better horse if I worked
him more.  I'm still battling with a bad back since my bad spill last year.
After I get home from work I'm too tired (or hurt too bad) to ride or work
the horses.
