Re: [RC] horse type priorities (was Pet Peeves) - Karen Sullivan

Yes, I understand this....but if the horse is willing, cooperative, and
otherwise great, I sure
can forgive some nasty faces....

Subject: [RC] horse type priorities (was Pet Peeves)


Interesting what different people put as priorities for horses. I have
personality and disposition up at the top. I have to LIKE the horse, and
enjoy working with it. They become more than just a tool for my "sport", and
I want one that has lots of personality. (pleasant personality, not cranky)
It can be the soundest horse in the world, and be at the top of the pack for
recoveries and doing well at rides, but if I just don't "like" the horse,
then I will not enjoy working with it, or riding it all day. There are too
many horses out there to ride one that I don't really care for it's
personality.

come at the bottom of my
list.  My list goes like this:
1.  Smooth gaits and surefooted.  (thing better not be jolty or fall down)
2. Sound body, feet and legs
3. Level head
4.  color and looks I like
5. disposition, personality and respect.<<<
