[RC] The Horse's Perogative - rides2farI raised a 3/4 Welsh, 1/4 TB pony for my daughter to do endurance. He disliked the trail more than any horse I have ever seen. He was sour on the trail, sulked when he had to go up a hill, just generally not happy. However, you could take the same pony to a ring and he'd be happy. Total opposite to all my others. I sold him 2 years ago to a jumping barn and within just 2 or 3 months he went reserve champion at a pretty fancy show. He's been winning right and left ever since. Loves it. He's probably worth 10 times what I sold him for now but he was *not* worth much as a trail horse! Just got another update on him yesterday with a link to his latest photo: " He won the pony hunter classic, was reserve champion large pony (would have been champion, but someone is a ham and bucks at the end of his first course when the applause rings out for an otherwise flawless performance --" See his photo at http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?PhotoCard?id=07D60004001B000 0002A0000KCYAPDEA Endurance is great, but it's *not* the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for *all* people & horses. Personally, I don't understand why, :-) But to each his own.
