Re: RE: Re. Sac. sale, "bred for endurance"?

Deno is pretty much that way naturally...more arena work might help...but I
like to go out and use actual bushes,trees.stumps, whatever I can put in my
path to make them learn how to use the obstuction...Deno pretty much floats,
but I do remember when I first started riding him at 4, that it was really
going to take some time to get him more flexable...It just sort of happened
one day I guess...Now he's 16 and it gets hard to remember that he wasn't
always this way...Now there's my new 2 yr. old...that's a whole nother
story...Cora
