Well, Truman, once again I didn't bring this up--you did, and Nicole made
the comment, and all I did was ditto what she said.  So don't take it out
on me, please.

I "get along" with a whole host of Arabian breeders--many of whom have
horses out doing exceptionally well in this sport.  Sheila concentrates on
the show ring, and has darn few horses out on the endurance trails.  I
don't know Linda.  All I said was that I couldn't think of any breeders I
know who breed primarily good riding horses who nominate their horses for
sweeps.  I even said that there might well be one that I can't think of at
the moment.  I'm not trying to dictate anything to anybody.  I'm simply
stating a simple fact--which is that most of the folks who breed good
horses for this sport don't nominate.  Instead of flying off the handle,
why don't you look up some of the breeders who have multiple horses doing
well in the sport and find out if they nominate?  All I said is that I
know quite a few of them, and to my knowledge, the ones that I know don't.
Is that such an offensive thing to say???  Good grief, Truman--read it as
it was written, and chill!

Heidi
