Hey,  I was so excited after seeing Rockster take you through those patterns, that it made me want to sign up to go to the shoot in December.  It also made me miss riding him of course. He looked really good, nice weather, plenty of food, lots of exercise, what more could a horse want?  I'm really glad you're riding him a lot.  He really needs that.  I'm glad he's got a full time job now.

I'm really encouraged about Rocky.  I know I keep saying that, but I really am.   I was hoping he would work out for doing this, because he's so nice in many other aspects. thanks,  Neal

Hey there,  I just had the best time riding Rocky and talking with you. I want to think I'm progressing at this sport and can be successful at it someday.  

I felt better about that after spending a couple of days
there in Ellensburg with you and Rocky.  I appreciate your positivenessand encouragement.  Thank you very much for dinner and working with me during those cruddy weather days. 

Thanks again for your assistance.  Rocky is in great hands.   Give Rockster an apple from me this week.  Thanks again Kenda.   Neal

Kenda,
 Thanks for the video, looks like he’s doing great.  I’m so glad he’s got such a good rider working with him.  It looks like Rocky is making lots of progress!

Thanks for letting me know about Rocky.  I've been wondering about him lately and how's he doing.  Thank you for being so professional about all this horse stuff!
