?I read your posts this morning but I didn't get a chance to write back
until now.
?I want to thank The person who posted the? weather and the cost of horse
flesh. My boss said it was warm in that part of Arizona right now. We looked
on the national weather map after reading your post. It wasn't that warm
down there. We are glad to take our cold weather garb.
?I bought my crappy footed horse some very expensive rubber shoes. I paid
$58 to over night them. I went to put a shoe on his foot and I found what
looks like a cut from ice.?He is not lame yet but I am concerned about
taking him. I might have to take that Morgan again. It is no wonder they
took mules. The part that gripes me the most is I have put in months getting
these two horses ready for this trip. Cindy, who owns the Mustang, rarely
did any thing? for him. Cindy loaded up her Mustang with about 80 pounds of
equipment (he carries 310 lb total) and went on a trail ride. He carried all
of that like it was nothing. My horse can hardly handle my 170 lb + 40 lb
tack + 20 lbs of equipment. The Morgan can carry quite a bit more weight but
even with out a rider he is very unstable.
?A good mule is unheard of around here. I would imagine people wont sell
them. I have seen some youngsters for sale. Most of these need training. I
am going to look around when I am in Arizona. It sounds like good horses are
not as expensive out there and people may actually ride them. I hope to find
something with some age on it (teenager). I also have considered getting a
mustang. My sister's horse?was caught two years ago. The lady we bought him
from started him for us and my sister did the rest. He?is our best horse so
far. Both ladies used the "stuff him full of cookies" technique. I am not
sure if that is the reason for their success or?the horse is really that
wonderful.
We leave for Arizona tomorrow evening...hope I have a horse...or maybe I
don't! We have a Blackberry so I will write if I find a better horse. I did
learn that you might ought to buy the horse after you pick out your sport.
Kim
