He only got nervous when Connor did a cat crouch spook when a lady on a scooter skidded to a stop on gravel covered concrete next to us. We both handled it fine, but still, had to remind him.<br /><br />I know what you mean about Thoroughbreds. I love them too, but there's something about a round neck.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-60818647104173083232014-10-01T08:44:49.645-04:002014-10-01T08:44:49.645-04:00Haha, so you're saying California should be th...Haha, so you're saying California should be the first place I look?<br /><br />Thanks, repetitive tasks are soothing to my brain, so braiding is the top of that list.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-59225149728212146312014-10-01T08:42:59.261-04:002014-10-01T08:42:59.261-04:00Paso Finos are a very strange breed of horse.

As usual, it seems, my attempt fell short. <br /><br />What'd your dad think? <br /><br />Also that's an awesome score, your braids are beautiful, and your horse is freaking gorgeous.
