Hello everyone, Busy busy busy here - hope you all don't mind, but I'm just going to post & run .... just wanted to introduce you all to my new grandson Toby - he was born Sunday May 25 at 5:30 AM - after a very long labour & 5 hours of pushing he finally entered this world by C-section. - the new family are now doing very well, but I think DD will be wanting my help once they all get home. Catch up with you all leter.

OK - Rem, FH, AMM - here is a closer look - Rose calls it a JC - so called because the guy who 'invented' it is named Jean Claude - he was Linda's (Rose's mother) instructor when she got her western coaching certificate (apparently Martha Josey (barrel racing) uses the same type of device). And yes it is quite like a German martingale but Rose does not use to get a horse in a frame. Anyways - Rose said that after the few first rides on Talea, she started to snatch the bit & snake

Hello again, I'm glad some of you have been to look at the pics of Talea in Bragging rights - it took so darn long to upload those photos the other night that I didn't have time to pop into here to say 'hi'. (is it just me, or is ES still incredibly slow ? I don't have problems with any other sites - only here !!) I tried to play catch-up but just too too much has been going on here, so please forgive me if I don't comment on your special news or achievements. RC, it does
