A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

Update - better late than never

It has been a while since my last post.  So here is an update.  Will is doing excellent.  He is yielding better, and his topline is getting much better.  He is on a very balanced diet of strategy, beet pult, rice bran and alfalfa.  And of course his all you can eat hay buffet! lol.  He is getting stronger every day, and learing to take the correct leads when asked to lope.  He is trotting nicely on a lunge line, and if a second person helps with secondary ques, whe can get a nice figure eight trot out of him.  I know he is still tired though, and his topline probably is still sore.  Poor little guy.  But he is doing so good.  As far as jumping goes - which is the direction i want him to go in - he loves to go over poles.  It is one of his favorite excercises  :)  I will need to put up a video soon of his progress.  :)
