Update on Don:
Don's owner came a picked him up a couple of weeks ago. He was moving well under saddle, walk/trot transitions smoothed out, flexing and supple. He was still experiencing marked unsteadiness at the trot and the canter, so he did not have much time under saddle at those gaits. His owner has decided to sell him.
Better news - CRUISE TIME!
I went on a six day cruise with my family to Cozumel and Progresson Yucatan. It was so much fun and it was so great to spend the time with my family. We (my family of four) met up with my parents, my sister and her family and my brother and his family. There was a total of 13 of us. The cruise was my parents celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. We also took some time to celebrate that all three of us kids have been married 20 years or longer. The only downfall to the trip was that we were skirting Hurricane Alex the entire trip. Lots of white caps, rain and a rockin' and rollin' ship. It was a real exercise in balance! Even with the rain and clouds, there was so much fun stuff to do on the ship - eat, shows, casino, games, eat, sleep, swim, work-out in the gym, putt-putt and did I mention eat? Great vacation and great fun!
