Forgot to put in this one too....Ghost has been progressing very well down in NC! Jonie and Dennis have been ponying him on 5-10 mile trail rides, and now Jonie is even riding him! Mary went down and also tested him out; said he was wonderful on trail and she even got on and off him a few times. The plan is hopefully to meet up in South Carolina for Sand Hills, and have both Frank, Halo, and Ghost there for the ride (I will probably ride Halo but it all depends on Mary and Jonie). Dennis reports: 
"Jonie, believe it or not is riding Ghost on trail. I ponied him four times, eight miles each trip and then she ponied him 5 times about nine miles each trip. Two weeks ago, she rode him 9 miles, and now has had him out on trail for the 6th time today. He is now fully shod, crosses water like a champ trotting some on trail and really coming along. Still have mounting issues, but not getting off. Jonie stands on the wheel well of the trailer, then slides herself on and he is fine. If she uses a mounting block or steps in a stirrup, well you know the story....I will keep you in the loop..."Great news! He's going to be a very nice horse. I need to go down and ride him soon (you know, if you fall off get back on whole thing). ;-)
