Donal not only has Pip these days, he also has Jasper in for
training. Jasper is from Carol Lush's (Mapleside Farm) breeding
program. And of course, Choccie came from her and is from
her great damline of Minnie Do (full sister to the GP horse Chase
The Clouds) He likes both of them, although Jasper, being a
Magical son can be somewhat of s smart ass. That boy can
jump and move though.

He is funny - "Those two ladies, they know what they are doing."
I told him yesterday "Americans can breed good horses. The
big problem we have in this country is that we do not have
good young horse trainers, especially in the h/j world."

I also told him that I know of a nice young Irish mare in the
immediate area.  ;-)

I do like Gold Luck a lot - years ago, we used the same vet
as Mo (Doc Amy) and she used to rave about his mind. But
his sire was a terrific horse and his damline could not be
better.

It's Kevin so all of us are just sitting and waiting. Things with
Kevin are subject to change with very little notice. I told
Donal yesterday that I did not care if we kept The Nose 
forever. :-)
