In response to "Mike and his horse Rroc have been have been 
riding partners for Scout, Khal,
and me at the NM rides lately and he told me about your mare 
during one of
our rides at Around the Mountain.  If I remember correctly, 
he said he
wouldn't ride her in an endurance ride (or maybe he said he 
wouldn't ride
her....at all "

**********
At my age I have a strong sense of self preservation driven 
by the fact that I don't react or heal as fast as I did when 
I was younger.

I've ridden a number of times with Kat on Lady Marla and 
while she's an excellent horse - when she spooks(which in my 
view is often) - you need to be able to recover quickly and 
be prepared to "bail" if the circumstances are right.

I've seen Kat do that to make sure that both of them didn't 
go down a steep incline at her place in CA.

So in my view, a nice horse but needs an excellent quick 
rider who is willing to take risks.  Not my thing at this 
point in my life...

Mike
