I have definately learned that there is alot of stuff that you would never think about that goes into making a condition book.


Such as?

Sounds like a cool project

He will have to have the 2 or 3 trainers
with the largest number of horses help him.
So that should be a part of the project.
He should get automatic input from them.
Would make the project a little easier.

Yeah, I should have picked you brain on it a little more. I think Doug gets a little pleasure in watching everyone struggle on it. Of course, I was up until around 3 the night before it was due still working on it like alot of students.

Still a great project, although I didn't get my ladders to look quite right...

Yeah I enjoyed that project. The a lot of students were pissed at me because I did it in one day before it was due (Granted it took like 15 hours, but I was too busy partying to not be a procrastinator). Doug still has mine I assume.

I think I named my track "Falling Downs".
