Kerry,

Well said. That is why I first quoted the Dynamite literature, made 
availalbe the breakdown, and then told others what has worked for me. I am 
in no uncertain terms, an expert..don't pretend to be. I do know what has 
worked for my horses for 15 yrs though.

I live at the end of the Tevis trail, and that is our training ground..big 
hills, heat, a regular 25 mile training ride for us would kill some of the 
folks who train on flat ground in 70 degrees. We had 85 degrees last Sunday! 
Soon, we will be riding the infamous "canyons" that everyone dreads on 
Tevis..just for a training ride! And this we will do in over 100 degree 
weather. Both directions. I love to start at Foresthill, ride up the Tevis 
trail to the Swinging Bridge, then turn around and come back.

My motto: First, do no harm! When I ride my horse, I know I am not harming 
him..That lets me sleep at night.

> We have so many experts who have done so well for so long with their horses
