Rosalynn still has it!

Re: Rosalynn still has it!
Landing on my feet actually seems to be my landing of choice lately. This was my first fall on my new property, unless you count when I did an emergency dismount off Isabelle once when she lost her mind and was madly galloping toward some jumps the wrong direction. I landed on my feet that time too. I've done it a couple other times too but I don't remember the details. It's a whole lot better than landing any other way! I tend to make a decision very quickly about whether I am going to be able to stay on in a given situation, and then it gives me that little bit of extra time to plan the actual fall.
If Rosalynn is bred again I'll probably lease her out and let the person leasing her decide who to breed to. I don't need any more full size horses and if I breed her myself I'll get too attached to the foal to sell it. I've had suggestions of breeding back to GG or breeding to Art Deco or North Forks Cardi. Any of those would be very nice. :ymdaydream:
I had to use one of the new smilies!
Re: Rosalynn still has it!
If either of you want to lease her for the year to breed to the stallion of your choice, I'm totally game. B-) I'm not going to breed her though unless I have a guaranteed home for the foal -- with a contract and everything.
Did you know that Cardi's owner likes Rosalynn so much she almost leased her herself last year?
Re: Rosalynn still has it!
Trust me, I so would if I could. I *want* to own or lease a nice sporty-type mare for a year so I can do a test breeding with Cisco. But bad economy plus me never having any money myself? Probably not such a good idea!
What if you even just free lease Ros to Cardi's owner? That may give her a good push. Heck, why don't you even put an ad out for her to be leased?
Re: Rosalynn still has it!
Wow! I'm glad you weren't injured. Landing on your feet is pretty impressive one of theses days I need to learn that trick. (although I suspect I'm to round)
As far as breeding her again why don't you ask your vet? 21 isn't THAT old. As long as she is in good shape and the vet gives the go ahead....just don't wait to long to decide.
