Josey on Casey for the first time

Josey rode Casey for the first time this morning, and she seemed to enjoy it. I think if she'd have ridden any longer she'd have fallen asleep, which I can remember that her mother did a lot. The saddle they rode today had a high swell so it didn't work well, and we'll use one of the other 2 that have lower swells next time. Yesterday Josey had her 9--month doctor's appointment and got a shot. The doctor came into the exam room and told Laney that Josey is in the 95th percentile in height and weight, and said, "They must have mis-measured her head, there's no way her head is as big as what they measured." Laney told him, "I saw them measure it and I'll bet they're right, we just have big heads in our family." He masured and said, "My goodness, you are right - her head is 48 centimeters, which puts that at over the 100th percentile on our charts!" I wasn't surprised either. When Laney was born she weighed 8 lb. 6 oz, and there was another baby in the nursery with her that weight 11 1/2 pounds - and her head measurement was bigger than his!

About Me

Mama Cannon
I've worked in the education business for 35 years now. Since fall 2000, I've also been a free-lance writer in equine publications - and I really enjoy that. I've met some of the most interesting folks! I also have some cattle and help tend those of my mother's also. For the past 10 years or so, I've been an AQHA show secretary and/or assistant, but I gave up the full-fledged secretary jobs, and have been laid off the assistant gig, but maybe that'll give me time to do a better job of the other things I do - though I will miss the shows. I do public relations for the Texas State 4-Horse Show every July, and I really enjoy that. I'm also Madison County Democratic Party Chairperson.
