| 2008-12-01 | Debbie | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Don, I know it's a longshot to find someone who has a precise and detailed answer to this question, otherwise it would probably be readily available and I got nothing at all with a google search. Have tried eggs, but didn't make much difference. |

| 2007-05-28 | Bob | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Don, I wasn't looking for a formula ... just your insights ... as I am trying to put what I've been reading into perspective. However, I could use the money! I suppose I used the term "sprint" too loosly ... my intent was to be referring to distances of less than 8 furlongs ... Thanks again! Regards, Bob |

| 2004-05-02 | Erwin Bearup | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your honesty and interest. I will certainly keep you posted as we progress. I am thinking that his head issues/mouth habits are nerves. I see that when I sit on him and walk around the indoor ring (w/loose reins) he tends to be more comfortable and I do not see this weird behavior. I hope with time, love, and patients he will out-grow him insecurities. Thank you Don! Best Regards, Abbie (tanaraymond@aol.com) |
