Re: [RC] spider web face - Esther

Uh-huh....and we the riders, have the illusion that
we're in control.  Arabs do think it's funny to jerk
our chain every once in a while, just to watch our
reaction.

I was about to say, yep my Arab doesn't have a tude.
 But, today we moved him to new stables.  He about
had a meld down.  There was no way he was getting
into the trailer.  Took over an hour.  About broke
one finger and dislocated a thumb.  I was about to
say screw it, when I closed a side window so the
trailer would be even more claustrophobic and he
goes in.  If the window would have been closed, he
probably wouldn't have gone in until I opened it.

Have you ever seen an Arab that didn't have a tude? 

Most would end up having the counselor seeking help!

Ok, 6'8" or 6'9"?  Behind a quarter horse,  you

self esteem back?

  One of the friends I used to night ride with

was

a

  whopping 6'8" or 9", built like a brick wall

and

on a
  16hh quarterhorse.  I made sure I rode right
behind
  him.  Never a fear of spiders with him in the
lead!
