"R" is for run~~ABC Wednesday 111809

I often watch each of our horses run in the arena and I've noticed some differences. First, Cali doesn't run very much...usually ONLY when she is being chased by Scout! And, Sunni can run, too, and he's pretty fast (being a quarter horse). But, our two thoroughbreds, Gigondas, and now Quad, RUN!~ And, between the two of them, Gigondas is the ultimate runner! HA! And, she's never been in a starting gate (she has no lip tattoo). While Quad just RAN last weekend, for the first time, it was short-lived and in no way compares to Gigondas, who flat-out RUNS and RUNS and RUNS! She LOVES to run! Both Gigondas and Quad have long strides. But, Scout doesn't. She digs into the ground and moves like a tank. Don't get me wrong! She can RUN! She'd be a great barrel racing horse because that little gal can MOVE! But, her style is different from the two thoroughbreds. She just gets her little legs movin'!!!!
