Congratulations on your top-ten, hotshoes. ;) And yeah, that's a mixed bag - but overall I'm delighted that Major finished sound. <br /><br />I've heard from several people that it's really quite hard to downgrade a horse - going from 50s to 25s kinda fries their brains. You did the best you could. <br /><br />Really happy to see you and Major enjoying yourselves :DFunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.com
