tim,
You are doing a good job and good luck to your project.
Your wife's old boy is a good looking Arabian. The
Arabians are fun, they're very high spirited.
Last April I went to Las Vegas for the Dressage World Cup Final I also went to the Arabian Breeder World Cup held in South Point Resort. We saw some very beautiful and high spirit young Arabians.

Thanks Cotton, we're very excited about having the horses here, and yes very high spirited, too long with out a run around and they get antsy. Beautiful to see them chase each other. But they are horses and mostly they graze. I'll post some progress pics in a day or two.

ps: The wife would love to relax and see the.Arabian Breeder World Cup, but I need her here holding boards, getting me tools, dragging brush etc. etc. maybe next year
