Ridecamp: Re: [RC] FYI

There are so many factors, what counts?Are my Mares, and it is mares,
because I like them, who have all done over a thousand miles without trying
and two have, 5000+ and almost 7000 "athletic" or is it just that I am not
aggressive.

My mares have all had outstanding babies, is that because they had
outstanding sires, or because the  children who have them are outstanding
horse trainers and competitors.

I'm still fool enough to believe the fairy tale that a kid with the horse
she or he loves can do anything.
