Re: Long Slow Distance

And Angie and Howard,
I Totally agree with you both.  And we are not "bashing" this guy.  But we
are not impressed.  I know more than a few people, I call them
"whoopee-I-aye-Kye-aye's" types who raise a foal in the back yard are on
it's back at 2 yrs.  This baby horse is soooo trusting that it does not buck
or rear so these people think it is "trained" and next thing, this very
immature horse is on a trail ride with 100 other "kye-aye's"....and we
wonder why there are so many horses at the auction barns...
Education will help but I think Pride in horseman/womanship will be more
important.  Some folks, I have met a few but do not ride with them, will
never "get it".
Ride well and Great New Year
