[drivingpairs] Re: Weather...

Margo, even down here in the southern part of the state they are late shedding. 
 I am still pulling off hair from some of the minis and mules.  
It has been the strangest spring, but today it is supposed to get to 100 (but 
it's a dry heat) lol
I drove out my pony mules this morning, and for the third drive in a row, 
Chester stumbled almost to his knees on perfectly smooth dirt road, and I 
couldn't see any reason for the stumble.  He's not ever done this before.  I 
don't know if it is just being lazy, or if there is something wrong that I 
can't see.  It happens in a second, then he is up again, but it is enough to 
get my heartrate up!  I know if I were riding a horse that stumbled from not 
picking up his feet, I would scold him and give him a kick in the side, but I 
am not sure what to do about Chester.  His team-mate, Abbie, is the zoom-zoom 
one of the team, and if I use a whip on Chester to get him going, Abbie is the 
one who reacts.  I spend most of the drive trying to slow Abbie down and get 
Chester to at least stay up with her, if not actually help.  It doesn't help 
that she has a fast walk, and he sometimes has to trot to keep up, and then she 
keys off of his trot, and breaks into one herself.  Anyone have any
  suggestions?
