Re: [RC] newbie wondering out loud - Chris PausYou got it Angie! Good post! Starman would be a raving lunatic as a WP horse, but he can trot all day. My 4 YO filly is the same way. She comes unglued at horse shows, but she'll march down the trail past all kinds of scary stuff. I think a lot of the problems people get into with horses is the old square peg round hole problem. Horses, like humans, have things they are good at and enjoy and things they suck at and hate. It's a wise horse person who can see the skills and desires in the horse and channel it appropriately. chris It can also come from people who have no clue about *horses*. They are just sure the problem couldn't be *them* so the horse must be crazy. If Kaboot had been owned by someone who wanted him to drop his head and trot in place he would definately have been considered "certifiable". I see the same things with kids at school. The ones that the English teacher considers A.D.D because he can't sit still may be the coach's dream. The English teacher's favorite is considered a total slug by the coach. Sooo much depends on everyone and everything ending up where they belong and can be appreciated. All it takes is one impatient untalented owner for Heidi's best foal ever to get sent to the sale. I don't buy at sales, but have been happy to buy horses that somebody else brought home from the sale after they took the risk.
