Because there are no headings in a post that covered several topics, I had to count paragraphs and tell them to read at paragraph 17. What I'm suggesting is something like this:<br /><br /><b>Feedback on comments</b><br />Several people asked questions about controlling speed in the previous post's comments so I decided to do a separate post on it. Etc.<br /><br /><b>HorseJunky's story</b><br />Mouthy Monday story goes here.<br /><br /><b>Another story, by someone who remains anonymous</b><br />That story goes here. You could also think up a catchy title for it, or request that stories come with titles.<br /><br /><b>Exercises for lazy legs</b><br />And so on and so forth.Heilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115300526657295504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-2793370835611199322009-09-29T12:09:59.510-06:002009-09-29T12:09:59.510-06:00read the first story before, liked it then and lik...read the first story before, liked it then and liked it again!<br /><br />second story: how can I convince this writer to try endurance again? the sport is full of helpful people (like the kindly vet) who won't laugh, I promise!

After years of battling my weight I had weight loss surgery in June. I am riding 4-5 days a week and taking lessons at least once a week. For my own a training log I am going to recap my lesson on Thursday mornings that way I can go back and re-read them to help mysef and maybe help someone else in the process.horsegeneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614136458074519322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-73784382775287614722009-09-28T22:42:53.686-06:002009-09-28T22:42:53.686-06:00Yes...tears again...but well worth a second read!

You know the police had to have been wondering why they had so many horses in traffic calls in one day.<br /><br />I don't know if I mentioned it. I've been looking for a new home for the BGM (bratty gray mare) so I can find a more suitable ride for the collection of kids I've acquired. (I just can't say no to my nieces who want to ride) I think I have found the trainer I want to buy from. She showed me five on Sat and they are all great horses at good prices. Very quiet WP horses...morning horses, if you will. Which is good cuz none of the nieces are dying to go screaming around barrells or over fences like I wanted to at that age. Fortunately my old age has slowed me down too. ;) I think I've narrowed it down to two but now I don't know how to pick between the two I love. Mugs - Do you have any tips for fitting the right horse to the rider?Fyyahchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680300099730314108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-20590419133183990042009-09-28T13:18:02.602-06:002009-09-28T13:18:02.602-06:00The first one brought me to tears again.
